The Besmenian Spero (Or colloquially called Spero) is the official currency of the Federal Republic of Besmenia.

History

When the Federal Republic of Besmenia was founded on July 2, 1920, the West Besmenian Mark was still currency. At that time, there were proposals in the Federal Chamber for a own currency for East Besmenien. Many politicians also wanted the West Besmenian Mark to be the currency of East Besmenia. On July 11, 1920, the majority of the parliament finally voted for its own currency.

The Minister of Finance Willhelm Spero (1870-1947) worked on the new currency. He named the new currency after himself. Finally, the Spero was introduced on January 1, 1921 as the official currency of East Besmenia, and replaced the West Besmenian Mark as a provisional currency.
