Modern account-unit review
The Icelandic króna became a separate currency when Iceland exited its monetary union with Denmark in1922. This documents regional monetary succession; earlier local note issues are not treated as separate currency creation. Original monetary-history research explicitly identifies the shared system and its separation. No inferred branch from a banknote issue alone.
