"King Orghum's [sic] Coffer is a small-sized chest, ordinary in appearance. It is remarkably light, almost weightless, which offers a clue to its true magic. Once a day, the Coffer will create gold from naught. When King Orghum [sic] himself possessed the Coffer, the supply within was limitless. Those who have found it since report that the Coffer eventually disappears after having dispersed enough gold to shame even the wealthiest of merchants. Where and why it vanishes is still a mystery. King Orgnum lost his Coffer eighty or more years ago, during one of the marine battles with the Emperor of Tamriel, who was then Antiochus Septim. After the loss, Orgnum's island kingdom of Pyandonea ceased to be a world power - probably because the King could no longer afford as great a fleet as before."
Codex Scientia

King Orgnum's Coffer is an artifact that can be obtained by taking part in its artifact quest.

Out of all the artifacts in the game, King Orgnum's Coffer is unfortunately rather useless. The artifact will passively generate 1-100 gold for you once per day, up to a maximum of 10,000 gold total according to the Codex Scientia, by using it from the Use Item list like other magical items. However, when compared to other sources of gold in the game, this is a very small amount, even for low level characters with limited options early on in the game. You will likely make more gold by finding and selling equipment and treasure you come across during the quest to obtain this artifact compared to what gold the artifact itself will actually produce.

In addition, the Coffer is unable to be put in for repairs to recharge it even after it has been used, unlike other artifacts, meaning your only method of clearing your inventory to acquire another artifact (if you wish) is to drop the Coffer, or use it until it is exhausted and disappears.
