Еще раз о "гривнах золотников" и денежном счете средневекового Новгорода
Th e article continues the series of works on Old Russian money-weight systems, launched by the publication of the Novgorod birchbark document No. 1072 of the late 12th century. Th e critical analysis of the alternative interpretation of this document, proposed by A. A. Kupranis and A. A. Popov (2019), allows the author to stay with the previously substantiated interpretation. Th e basic provisions of the concept, which establishes rational relations between the main types of means of payment used in Rus’ in the “coinless” period: silver, squirrel fur and leather “assignations” — kunas, are summarized. The concept of “grivna of zolotniks” is interpreted as a fraction of a grivna of silver expressed
in zolotniks, corresponding to the value of a grivna of kunas.
