History[]
Upon Viola's independence in 1604, its leaders were in favor of having a unique national currency. In the colonial era, Italian Ducats were used, but they decided to name Viola's currency the Corona. Coins were first issued by the government in 1605. In the 1690's, the Bank of Viola issued the first banknotes and promissory notes in Rodenia.
