Ruling on Delaying Debt Payment for the Deceased

Question
If the deceased had a debt, which is equivalent to 10 gold coins (Ottoman) from the year 1995, and they were sold for approximately 500 dinars, is it permissible for the children to delay the payment until the price of gold decreases since gold is currently rising?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for them to delay the payment until the price of gold decreases, and God knows best.
