The Universala Ligo (Universal League) was an Esperantist world-government organisation based in the Netherlands that promoted Esperanto as the universal language, and the Stelo (Star) as a universal currency unit. The motto Unu Mondo, Unu Lingvo, Unu Mono that appears on the 1959 1stelo coin means One World, One Language, One Currency. The Stelo had its origins in the aftermath of World War 2 when 1 Stelo coupons were issued in the Netherlands. (more to come)
