The Freician are (pronounced: ah-rey) is the currency of the Country of Freice. It is a non-decimal currency, being divided into 50 poqe, and was introduced in 1968 in preparation for Freician independence the next year. The name is taken from Are katil, a tribe that occupied the north of the country prior to colonisation and which were traditionally seen as the 'first Freicians'.

Coins

In 1968, the 25 poqe, ₳1, ₳3, ₳5 coins were introduced, with the ₳10 coin introduced later in 1972 and the ₳20 coin in 1985.

The 25 poqe, ₳1, and ₳5 coins are round, the ₳3 is scalloped, the ₳10 is round with a whole in the middle, and the ₳20 is octagonal with a hole in the middle.
