Minter
This occupation specializes in minting currency,
usually in the form of coins or bars of precious
metals. So far, no more than 100 million s.p.
have been minted per year per kingdom, and no
more than 1 million g.p.
A minter must guard the anvil, die, and precious
metal of their king with their life. If any of
these are stolen, then the minter is put to death,
whether guilty or innocent. Each minter, including
apprentices, must sign a clause in a contract that
allows the king to take their life if associated with
misfortune regarding minting, such as debasing the
metal.
The first coins ever minted were electrum, a
naturally-occuring alloy of silver and gold. In the
beginning, these coins were 55% gold. Slowly, this
changed to 43% gold. Eventually, electrum coins
were abandoned in favor of pure metals.
Daily wages are typically 7 s.p.
