Abstract
The aim of the following paragraphs is to assess the role of fiat copper coins within the cycle of negotiations and approvals concerning sovereign debt in Castile during the first 3 decades of the 17th- Century. The perception of unsound fiat money will be studied using primary sources. The attitudes of contemporaries towards the transformation of coins from quasi- commodity money into unsound fiat money will be featured within the context of Castile's legal and political framework, highlighting alternatives to a devaluation and suggestions to introduce types of currency other than fiat money.
