The Lemovician denar (Lemovician: Mendiluŕako denara, symbol: Ð) is the national currency of Lemovicia. First introduced in 1979, it has been set at a 1:1 peg to the East Miersan grosz, which is the most commonly used currency in Lemovicia.
History
Upon Lemovicia's independence from West Miersa in 1979, a need for a currency became urgent, particularly to assert its independence from West Miersa. Thus, in December 1979, the Lemovician denar was officially established, with an exchange rate set to 1 East Miersan grosz to 1 denar, with production to be made by the State Bank of Lemovicia. However, due to the Lemovician War and Miersan War, no denar coins and banknotes were produced, leading to the de-facto adoption of the East Miersan grosz by the Lemovician population, including the government.
Following the end of the Lemovician War in 1992, production of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 kobreak coins began, mostly for local circulation. Production of these coins ceased in 1998, as the government determined that there was enough coinage in Lemovicia for normal transactions to be conducted for the next "twenty to thirty years." Commemorative 1, 2, and 5 denari coins have been issued on an almost yearly basis since then.
In 1999, the first banknote was produced: a 20 denari banknote to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Lemovician independence. Unlike the coins produced between 1992 and 1998, the intention of these banknotes were to sell them to collectors. This was followed in 2002 by a 10 denari banknote, to celebrate ten years of peace, and then in 2017 by a 50 denari banknote to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the end of the Lemovician war.
Banknotes
Lemovicia has only ever issued three banknotes, each of them to commemorate an event in Lemovicia's recent history. (TBC)
