Despre numele de monede din catastihul negustorului Petru Stoian Stenești [Articol]

Abstract

About the names of coins from the Account Register of merchant Petru Stoian Stenești. The Account Register of the merchant Petru Stoian Stenești, which is the basis of the following lines, has already been edited, in an article, together with some general considerations relative to its form and content. Without depriving the reader of this essential information for understanding the general context of the era, respectively the register of commercial concerns of the Stoian merchant, in the following lines we will focus our attention especially on the names of the coins. As is known, the lack of an own national monetary system until the second half of the 19th century (1867) not only allowed, but even encouraged the circulation in the Romanian space of an extremely varied palette of denominations that supported (or hindered!) economic relations. We try, through the present analysis, to nuance some of these issues for the coins attested in the text of the document.
