Setting

The world in general has strong historic basis. Time is kept by canonical hours.

The smallest currency is the Denir, followed by the Sou, and then by a Livre. A (historical) French livre has 20 sous, each of which has 12 deniers, making a livre worth 240 deniers. Five Livers is the price of a quality riding horse. Half of that (576 deniers) would buy an average-quality sword, a packhorse, or a cow.
