History

The Old Kromer was introduced in 2021 as part of the school project that resulted in the Despotate of Socorro it was originally tied to the value of iron in ounces. this was due to iron being a "practical" medal as opposed to medals like gold or silver, the value of witch are mostly symbolic. In 2022 this policy was abandoned due to the low value of the currency.
