Twisthaler

Twisthaler is a fictional currency introduced in the popular video game series "The Elder Scrolls," developed by Bethesda Game Studios. It is the primary currency used in the game's world of Tamriel. The term "Twisthaler" is derived from the Old Nordic word "twist," which means "twenty," reflecting the currency's value. The Twisthaler is subdivided into 12 "skilling" pieces, with each skilling being worth one-twelfth of a Twisthaler. The currency is used for various transactions, including purchasing goods, services, and real estate. The value of a Twisthaler can fluctuate based on the game's economy and the player's actions. In the game's lore, the Twisthaler is backed by the Imperial Legions, the military force of the Empire of Tamriel. The currency is depicted in the game as a silver coin with a stylized image of a dragon on one side and the Imperial Eagle on the other. The Twisthaler plays a significant role in the game's economy and is a key element in the player's interactions with the game's world.
