#silver currency

• Silver token — An archaic or regional term of Hellenic origin, rarely used in the past within certain alchemical glossaries, traditional recipes, or chancellery notations as a direct equivalent for silver or coins minted from this precious metal; also, a spelling variant for the proper name 'Arghir'. In a structural-linguistic sense, it reflects the technical lexical borrowings or Balkan monetary nomenclatures circulating in the Romanian Principalities prior to modern scientific standardization.
• Astratinii — A structural archaeological and numismatic term used to denote a special type of ancient silver coins minted or discovered in the Pontic and Balkan regions, characterized by specific geometric markings resembling star rays. In niche studies, the term indicates rare monetary series issued by local confederations or specific late Hellenistic hoards used in regional commercial trade.
