<p>[QUOTE="seth77, post: 4030835, member: 56653"]The "Dabija șalăi" were a bit later but their function was pretty much the same: providing small change for a needy local economy, that had been relying on foreign currency for far too long. Your first spec might be worth some more research, at least to figure out if it copies an actual official coinage or the DIVA legend is just an interpretation of a rather resourceful counterfeiter somewhere in the general area where these denars circulated as legal tender in the 16th century. A place of origin would really help further research.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
