grosia Explanation: Large silver coin, greek name of a coin from Ottoman times I would not translate. maybe leave the name with quotation marks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qirsh Qirsh, Ersh, Gersh, Grush, Kuruş and Grosi are all names for currency denominations in and around the territories formerly part of the Ottoman Empire. .... The original qirsh was a large, 17th century silver piece, similar to the European thalers, issued by the Ottomans. It was worth 40 para. In 1844, following sustained debasement, the gold lira was introduced, worth 100 qirsh.... In Greek, it was known as γρόσι, grosi; plural γρόσια grosia. |
