Definition

• A silver coin of the Eepublic of Ragusa issued from 1627 to 1701. It had a value of three Grossetti, and was copied from the Polish Drei- groscher (q.v.).

  The name appears to be taken from the Turkish word altiluk , i.e. six-fold, because its equivalent in the Ottoman Empire was six Para. For a detailed account of this coinage see Resetar, in the Monatsblatt der Num. Gesell. in Wien (viii, 18-21).
