The Prosperous Cluya was the first cash coin produced in Viha as well as the oldest currency ever natively produced there. The Prosperous Cluya was the only coin produced under the Cunningham dynasty.

The Prosperous Cluya was made from bronze and had a round shape with a square central hole, the round outer shape symbolised the universe while the square hole represented the earth. This design continued to be used for Vihish cash coins issued by later dynasties.

Modern influence

The State Bank of Viha keeps a Prosperous Cluya coin in their "traditional room", and a Prosperous Cluya coin is also on display at the National Museum of Vihish History in Sprnesse as well as in the provincial Museum of Macudias.
