Stewardship of the Aletheian Guilder.
The monetary institution being established for the Sovereign Covenant State of Aletheia, and the issuer of its currency, the Aletheian Guilder. Its purpose is simple: money that keeps its value, payments that work, and a public record anyone can check.
Five denominations, in design.
The banknote series of the Guilder is designed in five denominations, from 1 to 100 AEY. Each note has its own colour and portrait, drawn in the engraved tradition of banknote art, with themes taken from the character of the nation: faith and learning, discovery, the public record and the sea.
A currency held to account.
A fiat currency is trusted for the rules that govern it, not for a promise to exchange it.
-
A fiat currency
Money issued by a public institution under law, as most of the world’s currencies are. Its value rests on the rules and institutions behind it, and on the confidence of the people who use it.
-
Issued by rule
New money is created only under published rules, entered in a public register and reported on a regular calendar, so that anyone can follow what has been issued and why.
-
Decided in public
Policy is prepared with its evidence, put to consultation and published with its reasons before it is adopted, and reviewed on a set date afterwards.
