ancient china used token in the shape of knives as one form of their
currency, I have always love the coins with the whole in for stringing to your
purse. The real world chinese were using coins from 2000 B.C during the Xia
dynasty, so I am sure they would have them in Kralorela, with a high level of
sophistication in minting etc. My personal favourite is the
'Bridge-Dragon' Money
of the Zhou dynasty, I think these would be perfect for Kralorela.
