  • In southern Italy, the oncia (plural oncie or once) or onza (pl. onze) was a unit of account during the Middle Ages and later a gold coin minted between 1732 and 1860. It was also minted in the southern Italian territories of the Spanish Empire, and a silver coin of the same value was minted by the Knights of Malta. The name is derived from the ancient Roman uncia. It may sometimes be translated ounce. In the medieval kingdoms of Naples and Sicily, one oncia was equivalent to 30 tarì, 600 grani and 3600 denari (pennies). Conventionally, a sum of money is indicated by numbers of oncie, tarì, grani and denari separated by full stops, thus 2.2.15.1 indicates 2 oncie, two tarì, 15 grani and 1 denaro. Although the oncia was never minted in the Middle Ages, it was the basic unit of account. The lesser denominations were minted, as was the ducat (six of which equalled an oncia) and the carlino (60 to the oncia). Frederick II introduced the augustalis, which was a quarter of an oncia.

  • L'onza (o oncia) (dal latino uncia, a sua volta moneta romana) è stata una moneta che ebbe corso nel Regno di Sicilia nel XVIII e nel XIX secolo fino alla sua annessione al Regno d'Italia a seguito della Spedizione dei Mille del 1860. L'onza corrispondeva a 30 tarì. (it)
  • De onza (meervoud: onze) was een Italiaanse munt. De onza werd vanaf de middeleeuwen tot in de 19e eeuw in verschillende delen van Italië gebruikt en diende vooral als rekenmunt, waarbij een onza gelijkstond aan zes dukaten. De waarde van een onza was dus ongeveer 33 gulden, wat in die tijd een enorm bedrag was. Er zijn dan ook maar enkele malen onze geslagen, met name op Sicilië. (nl)
