The '''Besmenian schilling''' (Besmenian: ''Besmenischer Schilling'', or colloquially called '''Schilling''') is the official currency of the Federal Republic of [[Besmenia]]. 

==History==
===Introduction (1918)===
===Introduction in West Besmenia (1967)===
In the course of monetary union with [[Besmenian Republic|West Besmenia]], the Schilling was introduced in West Besmenia on April 1, 1967. This was probably one of the biggest adjustments during the reunification process for the West Besmenian citizens, since the Schilling in West Besmenia was a symbol of the economic miracle and prosperity in the East Besmenian Federal Republic.
===Introduction in [[Palingia]] (2021)===

==Stability==
The Besmenian schilling is one of the most stable currencies in the [[Coalition of Crown Albatross]].

===Commemorative coins===
Since 1965, commemorative coins have been issued annually, which are also suitable for payment transactions. Until 1998 the BS5 coins were used for commemorative coins. After the BS5 coin was abolished in 1998 and replaced by the BS5 banknote, the BS2 coin has been used for commemorative coins ever since.

==Banknotes==

===Fifth series (1955)===

===Seventh series (1983)===
===Eighth series (1998)===
The eighth series banknotes were issued between 1998 and 2002 and were recalled as of 1 January 2021. Since then, the notes can be exchanged at full face value without restriction at the Besmenian National Bank.
===Ninth series (2015)===
The eighth banknote series was phased in from June 2015 to May 2018. A novelty was that the former [[President of Besmenia|President]] [[Erwin Pohl]], who died in 2004, is now shown on the BS 5 banknote.
