Croat
The ca was a silver coin of Catalonia introduced by the king Peter III in 1285 and minted at Barcelona, Perpignan and Tortosa. The term "croat" derives from the Latin grossus denarius, great coin, a common term for silver coins of higher value than pennies. Peter III was inspired by the gros introduced by Louis IX of France. • Illustration — A selection of ca from the Museu de Prehistòria de València The ca was originally worth twelve terns of 25% silver billon.

Overview
Overview
In 1340 the gold florín was introduced at a value of eleven ca. The purity of the florín was fixed at eighteen carats (75% gold) in 1365. The Catalan ca was equivalent in value to the Aragonese ral (which went by many names: grosso, real, alfonsino, anfusinus). It was the most stable of all the Aragonese coinage and widely used in the Mediterranean trade.
