Vereinsmark

The Vereinsmark (Portuguese: Marco de União, English: Unionmark, symbol: ?, code: KRV), is the official currencies of Karnia-Ruthenia and Taslavia, being also the country's main domestic currency and legal tender. It is subdivided into 100 x (abbreviated: X). Backed by a copper reserve, the Vereinsmark is issued by the Imperial Bank of Karnia-Ruthenia in the form of X at a fixed exchange rate of 1 to X copper milligram. The currency is sometimes referred to as Unionmark in English. The Vereinsmark was introduced in 2022 as a way to stimulate and restructure Karnia-Ruthenia's domestic economy after the union with Delvera and Occidia, with a currency with real usability (as opposed to a symbolic currency, like most micronational currencies) and a real exchange and trading value.

Relationship to the Kupfermark
During the Kupfermark creation process, the Ebenthal economic team, responsible for the currency, was in constant contact with the Delvera economic team, from Karnia-Ruthenia, which was developing the Vereinsmark. As the development of Kupfermark was inspired by the Curo currency system, currency of the former Grand Republic of Delvera, which was incorporated into Karnia-Ruthenia, the exchange of knowledge brought the idea of creating a fixed exchange rate between Kupfermark and Vereinsmark, which would follow a copper-backed monetary system similar to that of the Ebenthali currency.

First series
The first series of Kupfermark banknotes were officially launched on X Y 2022. The banknotes were designed by Oscar I and approved by the Ministry of Finances some days later. The images used in the banknote design represent Karno-Ruthenian values and aesthetic perceptions. The back of the notes has been standardized, using the portrait of the Emperor.
