The Besmenian Spero (Or colloquially called Spero) is the official currency of the Federal Republic of Besmenien.
History
When the Federal Republic of Besmenien was founded on July 2, 1920, the West Besmenian Mark was still currency. At that time, there were proposals in the Bundesparlament for a own currency for East Besmenien. Many politicians also wanted the West Besmenian Mark to be the currency of East Besmenien. On July 11, 1920, the majority of the parliament finally voted for its own currency.
