Gil - Final Fantasy XVI Database

In-game Description

Gil has been the common currency of Valisthea ever since the signing of the Continental Accord many centuries ago. The Accord entrusted the administration of the currency to the realm’s most trusted merchant guild, headquartered in what would later become the Free Cities of Kanver. The new currency took its name from the founder of said merchant guild, the legendary trader Gilbard the Golden. Trade flourished around the newly established mint, and over time, the worship of money grew into a full-fledged religion—the Great Bank of Gilbard the Lender.
