4412 Guineas should make a pound Troy weight & contein 11 x 480 = 5280gr of fine . They contein 5278gr as nearly as I can compute by weight & assay together when new out of the Mint. By wearing they lose of that weight, so that 4412 old Guineas scarce contain 5200 gr.

62 shillings should make a pound Tory Wt & contain 11∟1 x 480 = 5328gr of fine . They contein about that weight when new out of the Mint but weare very fast. The sixpences coyned 18 years ago, have lost 4 per cent The Shillings 2 per cent. The half crowns 114. The crowns 34 per cent. So that 62 sh in old money conteins about 5110gr. The shillings 5200 the half crowns 5150, & the crowns 5290.

4412 Guineas are valued at 4412 1. 1. 6 = 47£ 16.s.9.d And this silver money when new coyned conteins


4412 Guineas contain a pound Wt Troy of stan Gold, or 11x480 = 5280 gr of fine Gold, & are va;ued at 4412 x 21s. 6d = 47.£ 16s. 9d.

62s make a pound weight of Standard silver & contein 11∟1x480gr of fine silver = 5328gr.

Therefore 5280gr of fine gold are to 5328gr of fine silver as 47.16.9 to 3£ 2s that is as 11481 pence to 744 pence or as 15∟43 to 1. And fine Gold is to fine Silver of equal weight as 11481 to 737∟2971 or 15∟57168 to 1, or 15∟5717 to 1, by the law of England.

Gold is to silver in France as 15 to 1 by law.

                    Spain as 16 to 1 by law

A German Ducat goes in Holland for 5 Guilders 5 Stivers that is for 105 styvers or 104∟56 + 5∟23 = 109∟79. Or 104∟1 + 5∟23 = 103∟33 Or 109∟3. 9.s 113d English. In England it is worth 9s. 5910. And as 9.s 5∟9 to the difference 4∟56666 so is 21. 6. to 10d∟344. Thus subducted from 21s. 6d leaves a Guinea worth 20.s 723d. Gold to Silver in Holland as 141516 to 1.

In Italy & Germany tis as 1478 to 1 or thereabouts.
