A historical or obsolete monetary unit or currency, likely from Italian or Mediterranean heritage.
Possibly from Italian 'giglio' (lily, a heraldic symbol used in currency) combined with '-ira' or related to 'lira' (Italian currency). Etymology is uncertain for this archaic or rare term.
If gigelira did exist as a coin, it probably bore the Florentine lily—medieval Italy loved stamping symbols of power on currency to show who was in charge.
