The basic unit, the speso (from Italian spesa or German Spesen;[6]spesmilo is Esperanto for "a thousand pennies"), was purposely made very small to avoid fractions.
The spesmilo sign, called spesmilsigno in Esperanto, is a monogram of a cursivecapital "S", from whose tail emerges an "m".[7] The currency sign is often typeset as the separate letters Sm.[8]
