The Alopex Thaler is the official currency used by the Alopex Expanse and its inhabitants. The Alopex Thaler has been in circulation as far back as the Great Unification centuries ago. With the founding of the Alopex Expanse at around 700 BTP, the Alopex Thaler underwent a new design overhaul that is still in use today. The Silver Standard is what the Alopex Thaler is based on. In the past decades, the Alopex Thaler has been using a paper form to modernize the currency. However, some fear that such an act of printing currency may lead to the devaluing of the Alopex Thaler. For now, the Thaler stands strong - as long as the Alopex Expanse remains so.
