Deposits and withdrawals were based on the Esperanto currency, the Spesmilo (worth about 2 gold shillings).
The spesmilo was equivalent to one thousand spesoj, and worth 0.733 grams of pure gold (0.8 grams of 22 karat gold), which at the time was about one-half United States dollar, two shillings in Britain, one Russian ruble, or 2½ Swiss francs.
