Real \Re"al\, n. [Sp., fr. real royal, L. regalis. See {Regal}, and cf. {Ree} a coin.] A small Spanish silver coin; also, a denomination of money of account, formerly the unit of the Spanish monetary system. Note: A real of plate (coin) varied in value according to the time of its coinage, from 12[frac12] down to 10 cents, or from 6[frac12] to 5 pence sterling. The real vellon, or money of account, was nearly equal to five cents, or 2[frac12] pence sterling. In 1871 the coinage of Spain was assimilated to that of the Latin Union, of which the franc is the unit. | |
