An archaic term for a type of ancient coin or medal, often made of gold or precious metal.
From Old French or Medieval Latin origins, possibly related to 'crocus' (a type of gold) or monetary terms, though the exact etymology is obscure.
Ancient economies left us weird names for coins—'crocard' reminds us that every transaction in history was mediated through pieces of metal whose names we've largely forgotten.
