The Lyran ''kroner'' is divided into 100 ''pfennigs'', its name originating from the currency of several Scandinavian nations on pre-spaceflight [[Terra]]. Despite the large number of Lyran citizens that use electronic "smart cards," ''kroner'' still largely exist as a physical notes and coins. Paper notes exist for 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, and 10,000 ''kroner''. Notes are color coded for easy recognition and feature an image of a Lyran [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] on one side and a famous event in Lyran history on other. Coins exist in 1, 5, and 10 ''pfennig'' denominations, made of copper alloy; 25 and 50 ''pfennig'', made of silver alloy; and 1 and 5 ''kroner'', of gold alloy. Coins depict either Lyran Archons or more rarely important national heroes and the Lyran standard on the reverse. All such images and likenesses are commissioned by some of the finest craftsmen in the Lyran nation, making each S-Bill and coin as much a work of art as a unit of monetary exchange.<ref name=HHS-131/><ref name=CBTRPG-180/>

The 50 and 10 ''pfennig'' coins occasionally depict commemorative events such as major battles or memorializing lost national leaders or heroes, the latest of which circa [[3067]] were the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|Coventry Memorial]] 10 ''pfennig'' coin, issued from [[3059]]–[[3062]], and the [[Second Star League]] Commemorative 50 ''pfennig'' coin, first issued in 3067 and slated to end production in January of [[3069]]. Additionally, during the FedCom era, a 20 ''kroner'' note was printed: blue on both sides and featuring [[Katrina Steiner]] on the front and the insignia Federated Commonwealth on the reverse. While still valid tender, printing of the 20 ''kroner'' note was halted in [[3058]] following the Lyran secession.<ref name=HHS-131/>
