Koku (TCG)

The Koku was the standard unit of monetary measure in Rokugan, and its value was based in its yearly stipend. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 10 Beginner Game: Rulebook, p. 23 Koku theoretically represented the amount of rice needed to feed a peasant for a year (five bushels). However, each clan minted its own coins, whose value was dependent on the harvest that year. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 229
== Appearance ==
Koku were gold coins minted in the form of a circle with a hole in the middle to be strung on ropes. One koku could be exchanged for five silver bu (short for ichibuban) coins. One bu could be exchanged for ten copper zeni pennies—meaning there were fifty zeni in a koku.
