The Cartadanian escudo (sign: €; code: CAE) is the official currency of Cartadania and its territories, replacing the Peso on 6 September 1634 and the Real on 1 January 1804 with its reintroduction. It is subdivided into 100 centavos across several coin denominations. The Cartadanian Federal Reserve is the central bank and the issuing authority during both periods of the escudos circulation. It was also used by Ceylonia and many places with large Cartadanian communities but has been been phased out for introduction of local currencies in their respective regions. It was formerly used in the Bicarian Islands alongside the Taler until Cartadania transferred the islands to Urcea in 2021, when the Taler became the sole currency.
