“ | Well, to be honest, a pound exchanges for twenty soli, and one soli exchanges for twelve pence. There are even denominations like the halfpence and quarterpence. Such a coin system just goes against logic. It’s so troublesome. I think it must be one of the most foolish coin system in the world. |

Tudor Empire[]
The Tudor dynasty of the Fourth Epoch had issued its own currency, but perhaps due to the Blood Emperor's mental state or influence from his original pathway, its value and conversion were perplexing-unlike the normal 1, 5, 10, 20, but with seemingly random values like 2, 7, and 13.[10]
Tudor coins are dark gold in color. They have a male head profile on the front, with long hair, wearing a crown, with rigid lips and sharp facial lines. On either side of the male head were layered doors and a raven with one eye large and one small, surrounded by changing lines, a vertical sword, and an extended hand. On the other side is a number "7". Around the "7" were images of gathered soldiers, sharp weapons, and flowing blood.[10]

The front of the coin was engraved with The protruding patterns constituted a war chariot.
On the other side was engraved with the Coat of Arms of Tudor Family; a Crown with a Cape. The lower part of the Crown is surrounded by Coat of Arms of 5 supportive angel families: Abraham, Antigonus, Amon, Jacob, and Tamara families.
