Japanese Yen to Icelandic Króna

The Japanese yen (international symbol: ¥, code: JPY, number 392) is the national currency of Japan and is in issuance continuously since 1871. The yen is on the list of world reserve currencies and used in the IMF system. Yen derives from the Japanese word “en”, meaning "round" it is also close to the Chinese "yuan".

One yen is subdivided into 100 “sen”. However, coins in denominations of less than one yen became invalid in the middle of the 20th century. Today “sen” can only be used in the format of mathematical calculations. The banknotes depict the intellectual elite of Japan, and not political figures.

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.
