The Sarpedonian Real (Sign:₹; Code:RLS) stands as the recognized currency within the Union of Sarpedonian States, a regional alliance initially established by Cartadania and Pelaxia, encompassing their respective territories. Over time, this union expanded to include Arona, Lariana, and Volonia. The Real, like many world currencies, is subdivided into 100 centavos. Acting as both the central authority and the issuer of the Real, the Reserve Bank of Sarpedon (RBS) maintains offices in Vila Real and Albalitor, signifying its role in shaping the monetary landscape of this cooperative union.

The inception of the Sarpedonian Real can be traced back to the evolution of regional economic integration. With a basis originating from the former primary circulating currency of Cartadania, it reemerged on the financial stage, officially supplanting the Escudo and Salia currencies on 1 January 2028. This currency transition marked a significant step in the consolidation of economic policies among the member states. Notably, Cartadania continued to produce the Escudo, owing to its economic ties with certain regions that still employ this currency. However, this coexistence ceased on 1 January 2030, with member states shifting toward their respective currencies or the Sarpedonian Real, further solidifying the Real's significance as a unifying currency within the Union of Sarpedonian States.
