Fragmentary holograph notes on pistoles and moidores, on a cover addressed to Newton in another hand

<73r>

<text in Isaac Newton’s hand begins>In Spain the Pistole which before {illeg} wearing is here worth 17. 2. 828 is recconed at 4 pieces of eight or 18s & in Portugal the Moeda which is here worth 27. 6 is recconed at 10 Crusados or 28s. 7d.

In this Table standard Gold is valued at 4li per ounce as Goldsmiths have of late valued it for the melting pot. The standard value is 3li. 19s. 8d$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ per ounce. The difference is inconsiderable.
