Thanks for the question, Kate, and for being a Regency Reader!
A cod was an adjective for describing a good sum of money. Blunt was cant (slang) for money.
So the author was using cant to talk about a whole lot of money!
You can find both these terms, and thousands more, in our CANT resource. We are releasing a second edition soon, with updates available for all who purchase the current edition.
