A proposta deste texto é estudar a formação do sistema monetário em Portugal, entre 1185 e 1580, no processo de sua contínua transformação e manipulação. Atividade de incessante engenharia e fabricação da moeda, a criação de um sistema monetário está diretamente articulada com a própria emergência do poder exclusivo, do seu monopólio pelos interesses cristalizados em um centro do poder, isto é, a monarquia. Neste sentido, o fio narrativo deste artigo será a produção deste sistema hierárquico e consistente de símbolos de conta, instrumentos de troca e de pagamento, pela ação continuada da manipulação da moeda: sua mutação, ajuste, fábrica e refábrica... pelo seu principal protagonista, que é a monarquia, mas também por seus sócios interessados como a nobreza, o comerciante, enfim, os donos de todos e senhores da riqueza.
