The story
Banco florins measured bill settlements; current florins measured cashier accounts and spot transactions. Their distinction received official recognition in 1659. [1]
Banco versus current florins separately denominate bills, accounts and commercial transactions;1659 recognition supports identity beyond issuer credit risk. [2]
