The story
The earlier Frankish connection is qualified. Valencia’s preceding coin circulation does not by itself establish the conversion of outstanding accounts or make Valencia the immediate parent. [1] [2]
Turning points
Account-unit observation
Royal treasury ledgers record receipts, expenditure and obligations in Mallorcan pounds, sous and diners. Payments denominated in Barcelona money receive Mallorcan equivalents or exchange rates. [3]
Account-unit observation
The annual account balance, 8, 633 pounds 17 sous, was entered as debt owed to the royal treasurer. [4]
Account-unit observation
A commercial manual separately describes Jaca, Valencian and Mallorcan pound reckoning. It gives conversions among Aragon, Valencia, Catalonia and Castilian vellón; Mallorcan and Catalan pounds are separately valued. [5]
