gold piece

Pirate's prized currency

A gold piece is a coin made of gold, historically used as currency in many civilizations.

In fantasy games and literature, gold pieces (often abbreviated GP) serve as the standard unit of currency, used to buy equipment, pay for services, and measure wealth.

The sword costs 50 gold pieces.

The term evokes a romanticized era of treasure hoards and dungeon loot rather than modern monetary systems.
