A silver coin
Rupee: The currency of the Great Sea, as in most Zelda games, is the simple Rupee. Ranging in value from the simple single green rupee to silver rupees worth two hundred times that. Link can find rupees all over his travels as treasure, rewards, or simply randomly scattered about.
A large silver coin is colloquially known as a dragon’s scale. The face is a portrait of the Great Dragon of the sky, and the back is a quartered field with the tower of gods and the dragon’s portrait in opposite corners. This was a common coin used before the calamity, but now they are only found in long-lost hoards of treasure.

As the nine pieces of eight had nothing to do with an actual piece of eight, I thought I’d draw a real piece of eight. A Spanish dollar minted after 1497 was known as a piece of eight because it was worth 8 Spanish reales. That is what gets you the coin you see today.
Be excellent to everyone.
