The Kingdom Behind Glass
De'Adria Farmer-Pellman
The Benin Kingdom required that the Portuguese pay for human captives with these manilas. And roughly at the beginning of their trading, you could buy an enslaved captive for seven manilas. Probably towards the end, a male would cost 57 manilas, a female would cost 50.
