Savamese Aurel

The aurel (symbol ₳) is the currency of the Savamese Empire, as well as being used by the four countries that are full members of the Savamese Customs Union (Argevau, Brex-Sarre, Saint-Calvin, and Transvechia). It is recognised as one of the four tentpole currencies of Messenian commerce. Its name refers to the old gold-based coins used by the Sabāmani empires as well as the Montalbian Empire.

The aurel was originally a non-decimal currency when it was adopted as the common currency of the first Savamese Customs Union in the late eighteenth century, a few years before the foundation of the Empire. However, it was later decimalised when the metric system was introduced in Savam in the early nineteenth century. Today, the aurel is divided into 100 centimes, and was previously divided into 1000 millimes although those coins were discontinued in the 1950s. Décime coins (10 décimes for one aurel) have been introduced in the late 1990s.

The Emilian pound has a fixed exchange rate with the aurel, presently 1 pound for 70 centimes.
