An Account of the weight & fineness of several piece of Scotch money.

Intrinsic Value
54d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{8}}$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{32}}$	A sixty shillings piece of Charles II 1682 weighing 425gr, wors iijdwt
54$\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{8}}$	A sixty shillings piece of William & Mary 1691, weighing 425gr, standard
36d	A forty shillings piece of King William 1695 weighing 283gr, work iijdwt

4$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$−$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{32}}$	A five shillings piece of King William weighing 35gr worse 1$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$dwt.

Whence I observe that in taking Scotch shillings for English pence there ought to be a discount of 10 per cent: And particularly a Scotch [1] shillings piece is worth in England [2] intrinsic value
And a Scotch [3] is worth in England [4]

Hatton (Lauderdale's brother) coyned money of two base allay for which he was accused by D. Hamilton & went out about the time of Lauderdales disgrace neare the end of Cha: II's reign. All his money was ordered to be recoyned & now is not current in Scotland.

Sixty two shillings scotch make a scotch ounce Troy as 62d English make english ounce Troy except that the Scotch money is made lighter by 4s Scotch in the Scotch three {illeg} piece, or in the proportion of 15 to 14 to prevent the melting down of their money.

The most current money in Scotland at present are 40 20 10 & 5s pieces
