The analysis of 523 probate inventories, of men and women, raʿayā and ʿaskar, from 1680 to 1717, allows us to appraise the value in specie of each patrimony. Approximately 10 % of the Damascene inheritances are in specie and are held by only one third of the population: by men more than women, by ʿaskar more than the subjects. The most frequently present currency is the silver Dutch ecu; the other currencies are in gold except the ryāl: the bunduqī or yaldız is the Venetian ducat which is of higher value and more stable; the majar, the Hungarian ducat; the Ottoman sharīfī in gold.
