Following the dissolution of the United Kingdom of Lhedwin and its Treasury, the krona became valueless. As a result, one of the first challenges of the provisional government of Glanodel was to reestablish a modern, post-war economy.

The gilder (or gælder in Lhedwinic; Glanish pronunciation: [GILL-DER]; plural: gælder; sign: ₲; code: SGG) is the currency of Glanodel. It is subdivided into 100 øre (singular: øre). The smallest denomination currently produced is the 10 øre coin (or 10 cent coin), but the øre remains the smallest unit of account. The word gælder is based on the Old Lhedwinic word (spelled and pronounced the same) which directly translated to "debt" or "to owe" and was chosen by the majority of Glanish banks to refer to the first banknotes produced in Glanodel.
The gilder is traded globally and has historically been a reliable and consistent store of value. This is generally attributed to its reliable purchasing power, steady and low inflation rate, the political and financial stability of Glanodel, and the central bank's consistent and investor-friendly monetary policies. As a result, the gilder is often described by financial news as a hard currency. In October of 2017, the gilder was the 5th most traded currency in the world by value and accounted for 2.6% of the world's non-gold foreign exchange reserves.
