Peso : weight, and then weight of one 

 oz. Troy ; hence, the silver 

 coin weighing one oz., and 

 worth 8 reales fuertes (our 

 "bits") or 20 reales de vel- 

 lon ; these are the "pieces of 

 eight" or silver dollars, 461 ; 

 also called pesos corrientes, 

 1708, (but in 1307, 9 reals), 

 and in Peru, patacones 

 (q. V.)- But there were other 

 pesos ; in 1456 we have both 

 8-real and 9-real pesos. The 

 gold peso (peso de oro) is ap- 

 parently the assay peso (peso 

 ensayado) of 12^ reals (cf. 

 1302, 1459) and equal also 

 to the peso de minas, peso 

 de oro de minas, 411, 1613, 

 2036, 2046 — the mine peso ; in 

 842, a salary is given at the 

 same figure in assay and mine 

 pesos; in 411 the gold peso de 

 minas equals 450 maravedis ; 

 at 34 maravedis to the real, 

 that would come to 13^ reals, 

 and would explain the profit 

 made by the traders, 11 33. In 

 1260 the assay peso is defined 

 as a few maravedis more than 

 a Castilian gold crown, of 

 which there were 68 to a half 

 lb. (230 grams) of gold — the 

 gold mark. But the real 

 values can by estimated only 

 in terms of Prices, q.v.
