I'm basing the following off of sources I've gathered [here] (will net a few more as time goes by). The basic assumption is that character's will be purchasing things with silver coins that have 1% of a pound's worth of fine (.999 purity) silver.

  • 1 Pound = 92.4 coins
  • 1 Crown = 23.1 coins
  • 1 Shilling = 4.62 coins
  • 1 Farthing = .385 coins
  • 1 Mark = 61.6 coins

Obviously, numbers are going to be rounded and adjusted slightly, especially as prices vary over time. Even then, this is a rough list, and as the first source link mentions, most such economies are barter economies - even with the powerful influence of the Guild or similarly spanning organization.

  • Gold is assumed to be 12 times the value of silver in my Exalted games, 10 times in D&D.
  • Dinars are halved and quartered in Exalted (silver bits). In D&D, silver coins still have their tenth-value copper counterparts.
  • Prices will be adjusted to roughly 1450 terms.

Tools

Armorer's Tools 1 1,279.4 (1514) 1,240 coins
Auger 1.1 (1457) 1 coin

Chisel 1.5 (1514) 1.5 coins
Hammer (cheap) 3.1 (1514) 3 coins
Hammer (good) 12.3 (1514) 12 coins
Mason's Tools 1 3.5 (1350) 24 coins
Shovel .6 (1457) half coin
Spade .6 (1457) half coin
Plow Foot Iron 1.9 (1350) 3 coins

  • 1: This is obviously for working with plate, and at the price of such things, you do the best job you can. Simpler, less capable tools would cost a tenth or less.
  • 2: The source price only lists three unnamed tools, so I work off quadrupling the price, as the entire set of tools was supposed to be a fairly significant cost.
