Mentioned in the books:

"SILVER STATER" This is not really a coin, but has a value as a coin would. It is a small block of silver, like an ingot. No real value is mentioned, but it is silver.

"GOLD STATER" Like the silver stater, this is a little block of precious metal, but of the finest quality of gold. It is mentioned in references to the city of Brundisium.

"RING MONEY" This is not actually coins, but rings of precious metal linked by one other ring. Each ring, strung on a larger ring, is individually weighed in scales to determine it’s value.
