Gold Piece

"A block of precious mineral ore. The ore is used for the minting of coins and commands a high price on the open market, but that price can vary depending on the ore's purity. As such, the exact value is difficult for an amateur to estimate and only a skilled appraiser or miner is likely to make an accurate assessment. The noted appraiser Sanaris sayeth: "We get adventurers bringing gold nuggets into our shop all the time. Unfortunately, it's mostly the low-grade stuff.""
