The Gruenberger Opst (GROP) is the currency of Gruenberg.

History

The Gruenberger Opst is the only federal currency to have been used in Gruenberg's history. It was introduced in The 566th Year by The Rationalisation Of Monies Act, in an effort to harmonise the currencies then being traded in Naffarron. The Opst had previously served as the royal currency, and was introduced as the only acceptable national coin over the course of three years. Originally divided into 60 tiklata, it was decimalised by The Decimalisation Act of The 627th Year, with the division remaining the tikla.
