They use it for Trades, send messages or make contractual agreement.

Explanation:

Plectrum is a naturally occurred alloy of silver or gold. Civilizations in the past use this to make coin. After the ancient world discovered coin, they started to use it as a medium of exchange in order to measure the value of resources. (the more valuable the resource, the higher amount of coins they require to get it). This lead to the development of trades.
