The queen, fumming over the cumbersome girth of the supplied wood and steel coffer necessary to hold her nephew's primero gambling wagers, called the court wizard yet again with intent to task him with the creation of something "portable, yet stylish and concealable" so that the aforementioned clanking load of coin could be delivered to the duchess before rumor would begin to circulate that the royal family was not punctual on closing its debts. The wizard, who had attended that very primero game the night before, still nursing a hangover, searched deep in his closet for exotic materials long unused and held for situations such where he didn't have the energy to summon a coatl, lillend or his ex-wife to assist. This is the result.
The exterior is often dyed snakeskin leather with a gossamer lining that conceals a hidden layer of adamantine chainmail and chain straps. This purse mundanely holds nothing bigger than a human fist.
With a command word, the wearer can close or open the extradimensional space within the purse, which may only hold money. Other objects, as well as false or counterfeit currency are never transferred into this extradimensional space. Rather than having a weight limit for this space, it is limited by the gp value of the currency, and may store up to 5,000 gp worth of coins, though only 100 gp worth of coins may be extracted from this space at a time, which may be done as a move action (which doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity). The wearer may even announce an exact amount and so long as the amount is held within (and within limit) draw only that amount out.
Detect magic does not detect that the purse is magical. When the extradimensional coin-space is sealed, the currency remains unreachable, even if turned inside-out.
Due to its enhancement and materials, it has a hardness of 20 and 12 hp.
An extravagant model (known as the "Queen's Purse") is available, which may hold up to 25,000 gp and has a market cost of 2,700 gp. These models may be found made of plain-looking materials to hide their true nature further, especially in the hands of merchant guilds and bankers.
