The story

An Algeciras act dated 7 January 1326 prices half a mill and orchard at 370 current Granadan silver dinars, payable in monthly instalments; a related lease requires six dinars monthly. [1]

A debt register converts an older 60-pesante liability into 20 new pesantes, evidencing obligation continuity across the monetary reform. [2]

Ferreira and Poqueira tax collections remained recorded in pesantes, dineros and foluces. [3]
