The Riamese hull (Freician: Hịlɭȧ 'gi ruŋȧ) is the official currency of the Riamese Federation (including Freice), issued by the Federal Monetary Authority of Riamo in Riamo proper and the Currency Issuing Institute in Freice. The hull is divided into 100 cents. The name comes from the word 'hol', the historic variant of the Common term 'whole', with 'hull' today therefore literally meaning 'the total [of one hundred cents].'

The history of the hull can be traced back to the establishment of the Kingdom of Riamo in 1251, with the currency established as a way for the king to pay loyal knights and barons. Variations of the currency have been introduced at different points, including a domestic hull for use in Freice (introduced in 1972), with the current hull being formally introduced in 1876, following the abolition of the 'old hull' with decimalisation.

Today, the hull is one of the most traded currencies and has a significant presence within the global economy. The Federal Monetary Authority of Riamo, as the central bank for the hull, therefore plays an important role in the global financial system. Responsibility for issuing the hull is divided between the Federal Monetary Authority (for banknotes) and the Central Mint of the Riamese Federation (for coinage), with the Currency Issuing Institute issuing currency on behalf of these two bodies.

History

The hull was introduced in 1837, replacing the previous currency, the pent, at a rate of 5 hulls = 1 pent. The pent (derived from the five crowns featured on the first coins) was in use since 1449 but suffered significant inflation since the 1820s that significantly reduced the value of the currency.
