+EdDSA signatures are transmitted as 64-byte base32_ binary-encoded objects with just the R and S values (base32_ binary-only). 
+These signed objects always contain a purpose number unique to the context in which the signature is used, but frequently the actual binary-object must be reconstructed locally from information available only in context, such as recent messages or account detals.
+These objects are described in detail in :ref:`Signatures`.

     * `currency`: name of the currency using either a three-character ISO 4217 currency code, or a regional currency identifier starting with a "*" followed by at most 10 characters.  ISO 4217 exponents in the name are not supported, although the "fraction" is corresponds to an ISO 4217 exponent of 6.
     * `value`: unsigned 32 bit value in the currency, note that "1" here would correspond to 1 EUR or 1 USD, depending on `currency`, not 1 cent.
-    * `fraction`: unsigned 32 bit fractional value to be added to `value` representing an additional currency fraction, in units of one millionth (10 :superscript: -6) of the base currency value.  For example, a fraction of 500,000 would correspond to 50 cents.
