Rivero Hernández distinguishes the later Castilian maravedí unit of account from earlier physical coinage. The 1497 reform summary rates a real at 34 maravedís, a ducado at 375, and a blanca at one-half.

The Spanish silver real and peso account tradition is treated as a qualified branch within Castilian maravedí reckoning. The 1497 reform rated the real at 34 maravedís while maravedí accounts continued; scholarship describes real accounting within that common sixteenth-century system and subsequent divergence between silver and vellón values from 1603. This is an inference of local account differentiation from the combined evidence, not a claim that a coin tariff alone creates ancestry or that the real replaced and abolished the maravedí in 1497. The interval is a development window, not a known founding reform.
