In other documents it is simple called an Obol, as for its purchasing power it was discovered from translated letters between a princess and her tutor.&nbsp; In the numismatic world the one name ( tetarteron) covers 3 to 5 denominations during that time period.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>People did not right receipts for small change, even now most important documents deal with large purchases and not the small ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a paper that deals with Eastern Roman ( Byzantine ) purchases from the 7th to 15th century. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.academia.edu/1431390/Prices_and_wages_in_the_Byzantine_world_in_The_Economic_History_of_Byzantium_A._E._Laiou_ed._Washington_D.C._2002_ISBN_0-88402-288-9_vol._2_p._799-878" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/1431390/Prices_and_wages_in_the_Byzantine_world_in_The_Economic_History_of_Byzantium_A._E._Laiou_ed._Washington_D.C._2002_ISBN_0-88402-288-9_vol._2_p._799-878" rel="nofollow">https://www.academia.edu/1431390/Prices_and_wages_in_the_Byzantine_world_in_The_Economic_History_of_Byzantium_A._E._Laiou_ed._Washington_D.C._2002_ISBN_0-88402-288-9_vol._2_p._799-878</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I know not quite what you were looking for but it gives you an idea for later currency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
