All citizens of this land will be relieved of one gold coin each year to aid the good governance and defense of the province and pleasure of the title bearer. Those who cannot provide must relinquish the equivalent's worth in goods, or failing that labour, as best judged by the jews.

1 gp according to the GURPS system is equivalent to one day worth of labor.

Each gold coin is 31.1 grams of 99.5% or purer gold, you would need $712 to buy one today. 800 years ago Gold was around 75% of the price of gold today or around $500 in today's money. This is a little under the GDP per capita of poorly developped nations today so it can be assumed working adults 800 years ago who were taxed one gold coin per year were experiencing a tax rate of between 60%-80%.

Depending on the degree of socialism it might work. Did they receive free education and government-subsidized health care?
