Flemish groot–pound reckoning
CUR-V49-FLEMISH-GROOT · Research draft

Dated observations: 1435; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
Parents / predecessors

Flemish pound and groot reckoning · C2116
Adopted as a monetary basis by
◇ Dutch guilder (euro predecessor)unit adoptionLeuven accounts changed from a gold-based Rhenish gulden to a fixed 20-stuiver unit after 1460. This local evidence helps explain Dutch gulden development but does not establish a nationwide transition date.
After 1460 · regional fixed-account adoption; precise transition uncertain
20 stuivers = 40 Flemish groten = one-sixth Flemish pound
Fixed stuiver reckoning replaces a variable gold reference in the regional accounting evidence.
The post-1460 observation concerns Leuven. The interval is a research window, not a dated national enactment or proof of every intermediate stage.
Unit adoption is a historical event; no continuing peg is inferred. Excluded from ancestry, sibling relationships and depth.
