Coins of Waterdeep

Nib: “Copper coin about the size of a thumbnail (1 nib = 1 common copper coin)”; If the example is ¹⁄₂″ side-to-side (thumbnail size), then it’s ⁵⁄₈″ on the diagonal, and the single-surface area is ∼.24 sq.in.; If the example is ³⁄₅″ side-to-side (fits inside taol), then it’s ³⁄₄″ on the diagonal, and the single-surface area is ∼.35 sq.in.; If the example is ³⁄₄″ side-to-side (²⁄₃ of a dragon), then it’s ¹⁵⁄₁₆″ on the diagonal, and the single-surface area is ∼.54 sq.in.
Shard: “Silver coin, slightly smaller than the nib (1 shard = 10 nibs)”
Taol: “Brass coin, about two inches square with a hole large enough for a nib to fit in (1 taol = 200 nibs)”; If the example is 2″ wide, then the hole diameter is ¾″, and the single-surface area is ∼3.4 sq.in.
Dragon: “Gold coin, half again as large as a nib (1 dragon = 100 nibs)”; If the example is ³⁄₄″ square (1¹⁄₂ × ¹⁄₂″ nib), then the single-surface area is ∼⁴⁄₉ sq.in.; If the example is ⁹⁄₁₀″ square (1¹⁄₂ × ³⁄₅″ nib), then the single-surface area is ∼²⁄₃ sq.in.; If the example is 1¹⁄₈″ square (1¹⁄₂ × ³⁄₄″ nib), then the single-surface area is ∼1 sq.in. (Same as standard round D&D coin.)
Sun: “Platinum coin, twice as large as a nib (1 sun = 1,000 nibs)”
Harbor Moon: “Platinum crescent inset with electrum, about three inches long with a hole large enough for a nib to fit in (1 harbor moon = 5,000 nibs)”; If the example is 3″ wide, then it’s 2½″ tall, with tips 2.2″ apart, a ¼″ square hole, and single-surface area of ∼4.5 sq.in.

Standard D&D coins

A standard [d20] coin weighs about a third of an ounce, so fifty coins weigh a pound.

Background

Original D&D—“Basic” through Rules Cyclopedia—coins have an encumbrance of ∼‌¹⁄₁₀ pound each.

More specifically, encumbrance (enc.) is a combination of the weight and clumsiness of gear measured in coin-weight equivalents (cn), where 1 𝖼𝗇 equals approximately ‌¹⁄₁₀ of a pound in weight and awkwardness. For example, a ‌¹⁄₂ lb wineskin filled with a quart of water/wine (∼ 2 lb), would only weigh ∼ 25 𝖼𝗇, but has a total enc. of 30 𝖼𝗇.
