COIN TALA — WHERE & WHEN (coins catalog: by names & emitents)
About the name of the coin tala (tālā): regarding the origin of the term "tala", this word is nothing more than the Samoan spelling of the "dollar".
In the case of tala Tokelau (a neighbor of Samoa), we are talking about recording the name of the official local currency — the New Zealand dollar.
There is also information that the word "tala" is derived from the German word "thaler".
