The Emerstarian Skille, also known as the Riksnot, is the official currency of [[Emerstari]] and its dependencies. In English, the currency is sometimes known as the shilling because ''Skille'' is Emerstarian for shilling. It is subdivided into 100 pennigarer (singular: pennigar, abbreviated: p). Several nations formerly a part of Emerstari use their own shillings, most notably [[Soumeland]] and [[New Retermi]]
The Emerstarian skille, also known as the riksmedall, is the official currency of [[Emerstari]], its dependencies, and [[New Retemri]] that was introduced in 1627 in accordance with a new {{wp|bimetallism|bimetallic standard}} by [[Ervin II Gustaf of Emerstari|Ervin II Gustaf]] to replace the older, {{wp|silver standard|silver-backed}} [[Sølving]]. It is identified with the ISO code "S," which follows the value in most cases. The skille is sometimes known as the shilling in English since ''skille'' literally means ''shilling'' in [[Emerstarian language|Emerstarian]]; the [[Soumian sjaåla]] takes its name from the skille.
 
One skille is subdivided into two halvinger, one Halving is subdivided into four kosmynter, and one kosmynt is subdivided into twelve pennigar. Thus, there are eight kosmynter and ninety-six pennigar in a skille. The kosmynt (Emerstarian: cow's coin) is possibly the oldest term in regards to Emerstarian currency, first being recorded in 734 as the price of a cow. There are seven banknote denominations within the system, and excluding special edition coins released by the Emerstarian government from time to time, there are nine coin denominations.
 
The skille is equal in value to the other currencies within the [[Ostensted Monetary Union]]; this means, in accordance with the most recent specifications set by the Ostensted Treaty Council in 1986, one skille is equivalent to 0.1 grams of gold or 0.56 grams of silver, as result of the set gold-to-silver ratio of 1:56.

The Emerstarian skille, also known as the riksmedall, is the official currency of Emerstari, its dependencies, and New Retemri that was introduced in 1627 in accordance with a new bimetallic standard by Ervin II Gustaf to replace the older, silver-backed Sølving. It is identified with the ISO code "S," which follows the value in most cases. The skille is sometimes known as the shilling in English since skille literally means shilling in Emerstarian; the Soumian sjaåla takes its name from the skille.

One skille is subdivided into two halvinger, one Halving is subdivided into four kosmynter, and one kosmynt is subdivided into twelve pennigar. Thus, there are eight kosmynter and ninety-six pennigar in a skille. The kosmynt (Emerstarian: cow's coin) is possibly the oldest term in regards to Emerstarian currency, first being recorded in 734 as the price of a cow. There are seven banknote denominations within the system, and excluding special edition coins released by the Emerstarian government from time to time, there are nine coin denominations.

The skille is equal in value to the other currencies within the Ostensted Monetary Union; this means, in accordance with the most recent specifications set by the Ostensted Treaty Council in 1986, one skille is equivalent to 0.1 grams of gold or 0.56 grams of silver, as result of the set gold-to-silver ratio of 1:56.

History

The oldest known Emerstarian coin is a Kosmynt dating to AD 734, but systematic minting in Emerstari would not appear until unification in the eleventh century when the Sølving, the Emerstarian currency from 1051 until 1627, was adopted. The largest center of minting was the the city of Rensulier but coins were struck in the cities of Ljundburg, Månskilde, Ulgelse, and Osterborg as well. With few exceptions, even to the present, Emerstarian coins feature monarchs with their names, monograms, and/or portraits.

Banknotes

On 21 July 2002, Emeriges Riksbanke announced the names of the persons whose portraits would be on the new banknote series that would be introduced on 10 January 2004:
