A bunch of Krugerrands then, most likely. They're the most common gold coins with the least markup above their mineral value.
You talk sense.

She should accept half of it. The other half should go towards something the dragon-lovers would appreciate, while still being humanitarian sapientarian. Have the gold reminted with her dragon face on them, then donate them to some dragon-themed charity.
Also, Naurelin should make a public announcement that, despite reports to the contrary, she is NOT a humanitarian. She's an omnivore; humans, generally villains, lawyers, and politicians, only make up a small part of her diet.

I thought this was about the SCP 'Here be Dragons' on first look and got sad.
Reeee... It's Hebert, not Herbert!

I suspect if there is any place in Africa that remains somewhat civilized, it will be South Africa. However, I suspect it will have fragmented into 3 or 4 states, with the old tribal rivalries flaring up over time, which means that what remains of South Africa is probably a fortress. Tribal warlords on three sides, and Leviathan in the ocean...

Huh. That'd be potentially weird, since IIRC the various peoples in South Africa are all imports. Or at least as far as I can tell, the West/Central African Bantu absorbed and/or killed everyone native to South Africa, prior to the Dutch settling there in the 1650s.
Apartheid might actually have been resolved better than our timeline, given the surplus of external enemies to focus on. Although if Mandela's supporters started necklacing enemies in the 80s, getting burned alive for 20 minutes sounds like the sort of thing that'd Trigger a fellow with potential, so there might have been the odd cape wanting to go Carrie on the ANC.
Hm. Wildbow does like his characters to be the worst that they can be.
I think it'd be up to the individual ficcer to decide just how awful things got in SA, but 'controlled by vicious warlords' is just as plausible for SA territory as anywhere else in Africa.

Stuck between a Roc and a hard place?
To echo most people, i would love to see this become canon in some way or another. i want to maybe even see a thread on HBD alongside a PHO thread.

Thank you kind sir. It is difficult to be clever with a German Shepherd pup wriggling in one's lap.

If there's a vigilante involved, it could be "stuck between a roc and a hardcase".
Again, reeee. It's Hebert, not Herbert.
Their.
Typos aside, I kind of would like it if this became canon.

Considering how often my last name is misspelled, mispronounced, or both? I can perfectly see this woman getting Taylor's name wrong multiple times.
EDIT: I'm serious here. It's gotten to the point where I automatically spell my name for people, otherwise they'll add extra letters to my name, sometimes doubling it in length.

Back in highschool, when I was just receiving my first documents, my name got misspelled in my passport. I had to go have it fixed afterwards.

I'd love to see her go to a meetup for fans. Maybe Dragoncon? XD

It would be ironic if she went to Dragoncon 2011 thinking it's a fantasy convention. Only to learn it's a family reunion for dragons, and the fantasy convention is just a cover.

Thus the irony, there being a lot more dragons around then Tia and her brother think. There in fact being a thriving (hidden) community of dragons of various types on Earth.
Egypt might too, if only because "We were a country long before China".
My Family name is German-Danish (Ancestor from Flensberg before it decided which side of the border it wanted to be on) and I've had many mistakes including being changed to words that only share the first couple of letters. And lets not talk about Autocorrupt. So yeah, I feel your pain friend.
I really want an omake with a kid who is a D&D fan, asking about Bahumat and Tia, and Taylor answering their questions, and the reaction to it.

Wouldn't that depend on her reaction to the taste of the Cultured Pearls.
If there is "Spiritual" component to the flavor, then she could complain about how bland they taste.
Or She could get this look of "What did i just stick in my mouth?" then spitting them out, possibly at Dangerouse velocities.

Oh, I love this. That guy deserves real cookies for that omake!
No, but they do make a good organizing committee for their fans, who are on the lower levels doing Con things, while they have the penthouse for their reunion, gossip, etcetera.

In addition to the listed issues, trade in that particular coin has been illegal internationally since the early to mid nineties if memory serves.
