Synian Shillin

The Synian shillin (ISO code: TSS) is the official national currency of Synia. It is abbreviated as Sn. One shillin is subdivided into 100 cents. The currency was introduced in 1556 when Synia became the colony of Great Britain. Until 1603 they were called Shillings but due to Synian pronunciation peculiarity it is called shillin.

History


The first shillins were introduced in 1556. They remained unchanged until 1603 when they redesigned and renamed the coin.

The second shillins were coined until 1793 when the production of the coins was cancelled due to Second War of Synia. These shillins remained in circulation until 1801 when due to an economic crisis they were devaluated and replaced by new shillins.

From 1801 to 1867 about 300 different types of coins were coined thus discommoding Synians. A reform was needed. This was done in 1869 when the Royal Bank of Synia removed most of the coins from the circulation. The coins that remained were saved until 1874 when they were replaced by new coins.

The new coins were designed by Richard Fonhaven in 1870. Three years passed until they were coined, however. For the first time in Synia's history paper money was introduced, they were abolished in 1909, however. It was planned to make new coins in 1905, however it happened only in 1969 due to Third War of Synia and worsening economic crisis following it. Paper money was introduced to Synia for the second time.

New coins were designed in 1986, however, they were again replaced in 1993 by the ones designed by Richard Fonhaven. Since 2000 shillin is set to US Dollar with an exchange rate of 1.625 dollars (1.15 euros) per shillin.
