The krone is the currency of Sweden. The Swedish krona was introduced into circulation in 1873, as a result of the formation of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, which lasted until the First World War.... The new monetary unit replaced the riksdaler that had been in circulation before. The Scandinavian countries became members of the union, with the name of the currency krona in Sweden and krone in Denmark and Norway, which means “crown” in Scandinavian languages. After the collapse of this association, all three countries decided to keep the name, but for their own currencies. By tradition, on the front side of a coin in denominations of one crown, a portrait of the monarch of Sweden is depicted, and on the reverse side one of the coats of arms of Sweden, or a crown. The coin also bears the kings motto.

History reference:
The Paraguayan Guarani (Guarani) has been the national currency and money of the Republic of Paraguay since 1944. Centimo tokens have not been issued since 1954 and are not used in cash circulation d...ue to their extremely low purchasing power due to chronically high inflation. The name Guarani comes from the eponymous group of Indian peoples living in Paraguay and partly in neighboring states. The origin of the word "Guarani" is still controversial. According to one version, translated from the dialect of the Tupi people, “Guarani” means “warrior”. The term was used by the first Jesuit missionaries to name the Indians who converted to Catholicism. The rights of the emission center belong to the Central Bank of Paraguay, founded in 1952.
