The SCA word for money.

A metal prized for being ductile, shiny and corrosion-resistant. Valued as precious from ancient times to today (and hence one of the materials Alchemy desired to make).

Used to make a variety of objects eg: gold thread, jewelry, cloth of gold, jewelled items eg book covers, statues, etc

In heraldry, known as Or, the metallic tincture often depicted by the colour yellow.

Chemical symbol 'Au'
