"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.

It is one of the less-useful artifacts in the game. According to the Codex Scientia, by using it from the Use Item list like other magical items, the coffer will passively generate 1-100 gold for you daily up to a maximum of 10,000 gold total. However, this is a small amount compared to other sources of gold in the game, even for low level characters with limited options early on in the game. You can make more gold finding and selling equipment or treasures you come across during the quest to obtain this artifact compared to what gold the artifact itself will actually produce.

In addition, unlike other artifacts, the coffer is unable to be put in for repairs to recharge it even after it has been used. If you want to clear your inventory to acquire another artifact, you have to either drop the coffer or use it until it is exhausted and disappears.
