Genoese lira di banco

CUR-V26-GENOA-BANCO · Research draft

Documented obligations, prices or public accounting establish a scoped currency identity independently of surviving descendants.

One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor.
Dated observations: 1675–1751; this does not establish the entire lifetime.

Inference C2110

Genoese banco ledgers opened in 1675 using the commercial lira’s legal valuation. On 1 July 1741 the outside-bank legal tariff changed while banco retained the older valuations. This supports an institutional branch from the commercial account tradition. The direction is a historical inference from the older commercial unit; shared initial valuation was not a permanent peg, and the interval does not date a single founding act.
