The story
A 31 December 1198 royal receipt acknowledges 70, 000 sanchete sueldos from the bishop of Pamplona and declares payment satisfied. This directly establishes a Navarrese monetary payment unit. [1]
Tudela’s monedaje charter assesses two morabetinos, expressly equivalent to 15 Navarrese sanchete sueldos per fiscal household; its collection enters subsequent treasury accounting. [2]
The surviving monedaje register documents a levy of eight sanchete sueldos per household. [3]
Turning points
Account-unit observation
The ordinance requires taxes, rents and sales in prescribed strong money and values existing carlines against it. Its Tours-model coinage prescription has unproved implementation. [4]
Account-unit observation
The 22 October 1356 order requires merchandise dealings in white carlines while accepting black carlines at 22 to 12. Fiscal ledgers also convert black into white accounting. These are evidenced conventions, not additional denomination nodes. [5]
Account-unit observation
The 30 March 1524 provision requires prices and sale contracts in Navarrese account denominations. The account libra equals 20 sueldos/240 dineros; Castilian silver is assigned a Navarrese valuation. [6]
Account-unit observation
Reform proposals to suppress traditional account denominations failed; merchants objected in part because existing private loans were expressed in them. [7]
Account-unit observation
The 1828 Cortes reconsidered the 1818 account reform because older reales sencillos persisted in contracts and public books; restoring that convention expressly protected pre-existing contracts. [8]
