章 168: The slow change of the monetary system

Einar, who was standing in front of one of the wooden presses, looked with some joy as just by pressing it. He left some drawings on a linen blanket that could not be erased because they had been impregnated with ink.

All of them had the symbol of '1' written on the sides and at the bottom, it said 'Smaragd' referring to the coin that Einar had invented.

This is due to the fact that 'Smaragd' was the word for a gem in Norwegian and since the currency at the beginning would be backed by gems and diamonds, he considers it the correct name.

While in the middle, they had a bear resting on a small island that was shaped like Iceland.

At the top it had the words 'Land av is, Bjorn og veien til den nye verden' , while at the bottom it had a text in Latin.

'Pax est iustum, Est officium bellum¹ '
