That, or Temeria went bankrupt and started to lessen precious metal content, like the romans did with denars.

Also, I highly doubt these are gold coins (even if game and artwork suggest otherwise). Gold was very rare and expensive in medieval times, and the main currencies were in silver. Only nobility and merchants trading in luxury goods and/ or in bulk would use gold coins.

Also, if this wiki is true, then in The Voice of Reason it is told that while a crown is worth 6.5 orens, and in Baptism of Fire that 0.5 crown is worth a single "good" arrow. While I doubt that a quiverworth of arrows is worth 6 coins in any metal, it is very unlikely for them to pay it in gold.

Also, it is told that a crown is 100 copper, which is closer to silver value than gold.
