Tenur smiled in relief upon hearing that and said. "Actually, I don't want coins for that. I require wagons, carriages, and horses to move the resources I have already obtained. So if the senior can trade those items for that tiara, I would appreciate it more than gold."
Unlike gold, wagons, carriages, and horses were things that lost value.
Because of the scarcity and difficulty of producing coins in this society, gold was a currency that gained value over time, unlike these things that could break or die.
Of course, this was not something significant to the extent that a person would see the price of a product changing in their lifetime. But looking back 4 or 5 generations, one would notice that the purchasing power of gold increased over the decades.
As such, upon hearing what Tenur wanted, that wealthy merchant realized that he could benefit greatly from this arrangement.
