The Gold moneys of forreign nations which come into England are melted down into Ingots by the Goldsmiths before they come to the Mint We can distinguish these Ingots from the Barrs which come from Lisbon, by their shape & by the Goomes of the Portugal Gold; but we do not enter the distinction in our books

After the Ingots of Gold are coyned, we have no other way of knowing by our books what come from Portugal what from Iamaica & what from Spain France Holland & other places then by the Assay, the gold coined out of Moyders being generally standard or a quarter of a grain better then standard, that out of the new French money being a grain & for the most part a grain & a quarter wors then standard.

The silver coyned the last two years ending at Lady day 1715 amounts only to 3899lwt standard. Which at 3li 2s to the pound weight makes 12086li. 18s in tale. This silver has been almost all of it got out of English lead by a company, incorporated for smelting of Lead Ore with pit coale & {illeg} the charges of wood. We know of forreign {illeg}
