Yup. The 120 coins was Lawrence's 5% share of the profit as agreed in the contract. The 1000 coins was a bonus that Milone gave Lawrence out of goodwill.

The exchange rate between Trennai silver and Lumione seems to be between 35 and 40-1 (otherwise Lawrence would've never accepted the merchant's initial deal). Horo's trick drove up the price 1.5 times the original asking price AND Lawrence insisted on a double margin on armor.

Hmm, where did you get the 1.5 times? Novel or anime? I don't think the final price of the spice was indicated in the show, although you can calculate a rough range if you wanted...
