Subtle Coinpurse

A Subtle Coinpurse is a magically enchanted item that contains an extra-dimensional space, or pocket dimension, within the guise of a simple, leather coinpurse. Similar to a Holding Bag, Subtle Coinpurses can carry far more than their exterior dimension suggest, while remaining relatively light in comparison.

The Coinpurses are relatively rare, and simple versions are generally purchased for around 100 gold. Those with more extravagant detailing or decoration can cost as much as 250 gold. Subtle Coinpurses can also be purchased with Warding Toggles, which prevent anyone that has not been designated as an "owner" from opening the pouch. These toggles, often made with enchanted red or blue Aegistone, can add a further 100 gold to the purchase price.

A Subtle Coinpurse can carry 100 lbs in weight, taking up no more than 13 cubic feet of space. The Coinpurse will only ever weigh a maximum of 3 lbs, regardless of the number of items within. While not generally considered dangerous, if a Subtle Coinpurse is place inside an extra-dimensional space created by a Holding Bag, Portable Hole, or similar item, both items are instantly destroyed and a tear to the Astral Plane is opened.

History

Subtle Coinpurses were originally created for Nobles and their aides so that they may flaunt their considerable wealth at opportune moments, sometime during the Age of Arcana. It is believed that they originally featured highly detailed decoration, and that the name "Subtle" was mainly due to the considerable amount of coins that could befit within.

After the fall of the Age of Arcana and through the Ages of Chaos and Darkness, Subtle Coinpurses were repurposed for transporting potions and other small valuables that could be easily broken. Decoration on these items was removed (in the case of old ones) or omitted (on new ones) to prevent them becoming targets for thieves and gold-seeking creatures.

In more recent times, Nobles have started decorating their Subtle Coinpurses once more, though some manufacturers still prefer to leave them plain. They have also become favoured items for adventurers and treasure hunters, so that they can carry their gains back with them.
