gold pieces

Pirate loot currency

Gold pieces are coins made of gold, especially as currency in fantasy games and historical settings.

In tabletop and video games, gold pieces (often abbreviated GP) serve as the standard unit of money: The sword costs 50 gold pieces.

The term evokes treasure hoards, dragon lairs, and medieval economies.
