Every lord mints their own crowns, but the raw material is the same: amber harvested from the tide and pressed into coin. Pure crowns are water-clear; lower denominations cloud with inclusions. Merchants test coins by biting — real amber grows warm in the mouth, while glass imitations stay cold. The Syndicate's coin is the most trusted, struck with the guild seal and guaranteed pure.
