1 88 The Coins of Europe
Canello. See Patacdo.
Cantem, the Bulgarian centime.
There are bronze pieces of 10 kantem,
1 880 and 1887.
Cantonal, the name engraved on the rev. of two silver Spanish coins
of five peseta and ten reales struck at Cartagena in 1873 during the siege
by the Centralists.
*Capfllone, Modena, silver, value 3d.
*Caragronch, mod. Greece, silver, value 55.
Carambole, the e"cu de Flandre struck by Louis XIV. for 80 sols, with
the quartered arms of France and Burgundy. There are several
varieties : c. aux palmes, aux insignes, etc.
Carlino, a small silver coin of Bologna under papal
sway and of the
Two Sicilies. A piece of 12 carlini = 5
lire. Also a coin of Vianen in the
Netherlands, struck on the Italian model. The short-lived Neapolitan
Republic struck a piastra of 20 carlini and two varieties of pieces of 6
carlini.
Carlino, a gold denomination of Carlo Emmanuele
Sardinia (1730-73). The rev. bears the annunciation.

Carlino, a copper as well as a silver denomination at Malta, i6th c.
Carlino nuov>o, a gold coin of Sardinia, 1786-93 = :
,4 i6s. or 120
francs. There was no subsequent issue of it ;
but in later reigns we have
nearly equivalent values under other names.
*Carlo, Lombardy, silver, value 53.
Carlovingian money, the name by which we generally understand the
coinage of the Franco-German empire from the time of Pepin le Bref,
A.D. 752, to the death of Louis V., A.D. 986. The mints at which this
coinage took place are neither so numerous nor so doubtful as in the case
of the Merovingian series, many of the names which we find in the earlier
list present themselves in the later one. Pepin alone is shewn to have
had 35 mints. M. Blanchet assigns to Charlemagne 82 and to this
;
additions might be made. So it is with some of the other emperorkings
and it ; appears to be evident that the system of production was
different from our own ;
for we must recollect that the royal or imperial
money formed only part of the whole body of currency, and
did not perhaps amount to nearly as much as the aggregate feudal
output.
Carnabo or Cornabo, a silver coin of the Marquisate of Monteferrato
(i5th c.) and of the feudal lords of Desana of the Tizzone family (early
i6th c.).
Carolin, half, and quarter, gold coins of Wiirtemberg, i8th c., so called
from Charles Alexander, Duke of Wiirtemberg. The same denomination
existed in Sweden under Charles XII. (1697-1718) ;

i
and 2 caroliner.
^Caroline, Swedish silver, value is. 6d.
Carolus, a billon coin of Charles VIII. of France, of which there were
3 or 4 varieties and the half the ; ordinary type, that for Dauphiny and
that for Brittany. The piece was = 10 deniers tournois.
Carolus gulden. Silver gulden of Charles V. struck for the Netherlands,
1543-55. The same name was given to the piece struck by him or
in his name at Besan^on, of which imitations were made at Vauvillers in
I554-
