Abstract

Novgorod birchbark letter no 1021 (the second half of the twelfth century) is a record of a purchase by two partners of a large batch of squirrel pelts, indicating the amount of money paid for the fur. Comparison of these data with the testimonies of other recently discovered birchbark documents made it possible to restore the system of relations linking the three main types of means of payment that were in use in Rus’ in the pre-Mongol period: silver, fur and leather «banknotes». Based on these ratios, among which the central one is the equivalence of silver grivnato «semnitsa» to «seven times forty» squirrel pelts, the article proposes a detailed reconstruction of the financial operation reflected by the document.

KeywordsOld Russian monetary-weight systems, birchbark documents
