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 Geldsbar, 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 ™01, ™05, ™10, ™50, 1™ and 5™. The ™01 coin is no longer in circulation due to inflation. All coins has a round hole in between, with beams of "el Sol" (national symbol) on reverse.
