WHAT DOES PIASTER MEAN IN GERMAN?

piasters

Piaster is the name of an old Spanish course coin of high value. It was a name for the peso, the eight-real coin. By trade the coin and the designation spread in the Arabian and North African Mediterranean. There, the designation then went over to other silver coins. The great silver coins of Italian states were also called Piastra. For example, in the end of the 16th century, Piaster was coined for the first time in the church state. King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway, from 1624 onwards, had piastres for the trade of the Danish East India Company. King Christian VII of Denmark-Norway also coined piastres in 1771, which resemble the Spanish piasters, but bear the inscription "GLORIA EX AMORE PATRIA". In the English-speaking world, they were called "Pillar Dollar" or "Greenland pillar dollar"; The latter was an absurd term, since the coin had no connection with Greenland. The currency designation Piaster was also common in the former Spanish America and the Ottoman Empire.
