[Elder Scrolls] Compared to our world, what’s the buying power of a Septim?

Any kind of calculation would be meretricious. There has never been a period of real history remotely like Tamriel (printing, broadswords, robots and magic all at once). You could argue "very low" - modern farming techniques mean that food is comparatively extremely cheap, so a dollar will buy you much more bread than a Septim - or "extremely high" - try buying a Staff of Chain Lightning on eBay.
