Cancenium

oruna are a common form of coinage amongst all Inqoan nations, although they are frequently accepted in non- Inqoan lands across eastern Islegantuan . They are known for their uneven, roughly-circular shapes and their translucent nature. In some nations, they are drilled through the center with metal bearings, allowing collections of them to be hung from strings in the way that other coins might be held in a purse.They consist of a hard translucent material known as cancenium. It is only found in the enubis clam, a species that resides solely in the Aequin Ocean , off the northeastern shores of Islegantuan . Every enubis clam contains a single disc of cancenium, with the size of the deposit being roughly analogous to the size of the host clam. Because the Inqoans are famous for mining food and minerals from the depths of the Aequin , there are few cancenium merchants that are not Inqoan or do not hail from Inqoan regions. Cancenium has its own reputation as a precious gemstone and not all cancenium is used in the manufacture of koruna. "Gem grade" cancenium is instead repurposed for use in jewelry and other adornments.
