Sometimes I'm reminded how in Polish there's the worm colour and the herb colour, there are the months: the cold one, the flowery one, the month of sickles etc. and the currency name can be plausibly translated as "gold pieces", and I get the impression that all you need to create a fancy-sounding fantasy setting is to speak a foreign language.
@jzillw @robryk I believe the "czerw" referred to in "czerwony" is the same as in the month name "czerwiec" (June), and it is not the earthworm (which is usually pink) but rather https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_cochineal
@robryk Czerwony, derived from czerw. The color of an earthworm, basically.
