Note on Currencies
The primary monetary unit in the Zoutleeuw accounts from 1452 to 1477 is the grijp (gripe), worth 10 stuivers. This later changed to the Rijnsgulden, worth 20 stuivers. From 1540 onwards the dominant monetary unit in the accounts is the Karolusgulden, also with a value of 20 stuivers, although the Rijnsgulden continues to appear. Throughout the period, the stuiver was subdivided into 24 groten or, less frequently, 4 plakken. In addition to which, a wide range of other coins and monetary units also appear in the accounts.
