Asante internal markets and courts; peredwan-based scale
One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor. Dated observations: 1800–1929; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
Parents / predecessors
No distinct predecessor currency is established in the loaded view.
Children / successors
No distinct successor currency is established in the loaded view.
