Overview

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Numismatic Names, Their Official and Popular Designations The divisions and multiples of a standard are usually to be found under the name of the particular coin which constitutes the monetary unit; the only exceptions to this rule are where the larger or smaller denomination has so incorporated itself into numismatic history as to merit a separate description. Thus the terms Quarter Dollar, Medio Real, etc., are to be found under the substantive and not the adjective, whereas in the case of Tetradrachm, Quadrupla, etc., the opposite rule has been adopted, and these names are retained.
