silver piece

Precious metal money

A silver piece is a coin made of silver, or more loosely, any silver-colored coin.

The term appears most often in historical contexts, fantasy games, and biblical references: Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.

In role-playing games, silver pieces typically represent a mid-tier currency between copper and gold.
