The story

The surviving terminology has been interpreted through both local and Frankish money. A likely coin source is not yet a demonstrated transfer of the account unit. The gap on the map marks an open question, not an independently invented currency. [1]

Turning points

Account-unit observation

A church sale specifies 25 Gallician solidi, discharged in cloth, silver and cattle. [2]

Account-unit observation

Sobrado charter records an estate price of eight solidi according to Galician usage. [3]
