The story
Older Frankish ancestry is admitted as a qualified synthesis. The precise local parent and conversion terms remain open; this does not identify Valencian and Barcelona money as one currency. [1] [2]
Turning points
Account-unit observation
The new Valencian money served Valencia and Mallorca; sou-and-pound reckoning is traced to Jaime I. [3]
Account-unit observation
A Palma will required repayment of 21 pounds of Valencian reials held under a commanda charter. [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]
