Floren, or florin,[1] (alternatively: Nilfgaardian Floren) is the monetary unit used throughout the Nilfgaardian Empire and its provinces. In 1267, one mark was worth 60 florens,[2] and 100 Temerian orens were the equivalent of 9 florens.[3]
By 1272, the value of the floren had plummeted to one floren to three orens or Novigradian crowns.[4][N 1]
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt[]
Florens can be looted throughout the game, particularly off bodies, although the currency of choice is the crown. Florens cannot be used to purchase items from merchants, but instead can be brought to Vimme Vivaldi at the Vivaldi Bank in Novigrad (or the Cianfanelli Bank of Beauclair in the Blood and Wine expansion) and exchanged for crowns. One floren is worth three crowns.
Trivia[]
- The Florin is a gold coin created in Florence, Italy in 1252, which was later used by many other European countries.

Footnotes[]
- ↑ The plummet in value of the floren and rise of the oren, contrary to expectations with Nilfgaard annexing Temeria, was almost definitely implemented into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to prevent the oren from becoming obsolete.
