Takasky Mark is the currency used primarily in the Kingdom of [[Takasia]]. Although the Mark received no legal tender status, it is widely circulated and accepted in [[Takasia]]. It is issued by the Royal Bank of Takasia located in [[St. Takasburg]].

=History=
The Takasky Mark was issued soon after the formation of the Union of Takasia. It was initially pegged on par against the [[Talstadt]] [[Geldbar]], and were used interchangably within [[Takasia]].
Amid the economic boom in the late 1990's, the Union Bank of [[Takasia]] floated the Mark in 1999. The Mark has risen more than 3 times against the [[Geldbar]] since then. The issuing bank has been renamed to "the Royal Bank of Takasia" following the change of the union to a kingdom in 2007.

=Coins=
Coins were initially introduced in denominations of &#8482;01, &#8482;05, &#8482;10, &#8482;50, 1&#8482; and 5&#8482;. The &#8482;01 coin is no longer in circulation due to inflation. All coins has a round hole at the centre, with rays of "el Sol" (national symbol) on reverse.
