Icelandic Króna to Costa Rican Colon

The Icelandic krona (symbol: kr, codes: ISK, and 352) is the national currency of Iceland. Since the country is not a member of the EU and the Eurozone, the krona is the only official currency in the state. One krona is subdivided into 100 aurar, but coins less than 1 krona have been discontinued.

The Icelandic krone banknotes have been printed since 1885, remaining one of the few European currencies to have been preserved virtually unchanged since the 19th century. In 1981, a denomination took place in Iceland. Citizens received the new krone at the rate of 100: 1.

The Costa Rican colón (sign ₡, code CRC) is the national currency of the state located in Central America – Costa Rica. Centimos are used as coins. One Costa Rican colón has 100 centimos.

The national currency has been issued in 1897. It has replaced the previous currency – the Costa Rican peso. The notes are unique in their diverse styles. On the notes, you can see a portrait of Christopher Columbus, a painting of Mercury – the god of commerce, scenes from economic and industrial life of the country.
