NB. These years are from Christmas to Christmass. The silver coyned in the years 1696, 1697 1698 1699 1700 was out of the old English hammered moneys & wrought Plate. The gold coyned in 1701 & part of 1702 was out of Lewidors which by our valuing them at 17s 6d a piece came into England in great plenty untill by the Kings Proclamation they were lowered to 17 a piece & then they came to the Mint. The Peace brought in a competent quantity of forreign silver moneys in the years 1700 & 1701. In the year 1697 the coynage of gold was put off till the silver hammered moneys should b e recoyneed, & thereby the coynage of gold became the greater in the year 16

† The ☽ coyned in the years 1696 1697 & 1698 was out out of the English hammered moneys & wrought plate. That coyned in the years 1699, 1700, was chiefly out of hammered moneys which came slowly out of the county after the heat of the recoinage was at an end. That coyned in the year 1701 was chiefly out of forreign moneys & bullion brought in by the peace. And the Gold coyned in 1701 & part of 1702 was out of Lewidors which by our valuing them at 17s 6d a piece came into England in great plenty in the preceding years untill by the Kings Proclamation they were lowered to 17s a piece, upon which they came to the Mint.
