One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor. Current currency in the inherited endpoint register. Dated observations: 1873–1926; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
Evidence within this identity, not separate currencies.

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.
Includes dated issues, standards, subdivisions and institutional changes. Each event retains the source's date qualifications.

Iceland’s currency developed from the Danish-krone system through local notes, separate monetary authority and eventual withdrawal of Scandinavian coins. The gradual regional separation is qualified.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V22-045. Original monetary-history research explicitly identifies the shared system and its separation. No inferred branch from a banknote issue alone. Replacement evidence: C1641.
