The Exu or French Lewis goes now in France for 3liv. 16sols & is worth 4s 6d & thence the Livre is worth 1.s 2d∟21. The Lewid'or goes for 14 livres which come to 16.s 6d∟94 of oer money. At which rate a Guinea is worth 1.os. 8d∟18. For as 17s 2$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}$ to 16.s 6∟94 so is 21s. 6d 10. 20.s 8∟18

The Ducat of gold is coyned in several parts of the Empire & some countries adjoyning & is every where of the same weight & fineness excepting that the Hungary Ducats are more certainly of full value, some of the German Ducats by accident or the unskilfulness of Assaymasters being not so fine as they ought to be. The Ducat is every where coyned for two old Rix Dollers of full value or nine shillings & usually goes at that rate or within two or three Styvers more or less whereas in England it is worth 9s. 6$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d. But if the Rix Doller be of a lower value (as are the the Rix Dollers of Holland, Flanders Danemark & several parts of Germany the Ducat may go for two Rix dollers & 6 8 or 10 Styvers or above.

In Holland the Ducat goes usually for 5 Guilders & about 5 styvers that is in oer money for 9s. 1$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{10}}$d: at which rate a Guinea is worth 20.s 6$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}$d.

The Lewidor goes in Holland for 9 Guilders & about 9 styvers that is for 16.s 4d∟77. At which rate a Guinea is worth 20.s 5$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d.

At Dantzick the Ducat is usually vallued at 2 Rix dollers or 9s & at that rate a Guinea is worth 20s. 3d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$. And if the Ducat be there sometimes valued at 2 or 3 sols more then two Rixdollers the Guinea will still be worth less then 2os. 7d.

At Hamborough the Ducat goes for two Dollers & about 8 or 9 sols lubs. This Doller is three Marks lubs or of Lubec & a Mark is 16 sols lubs, so that this Doller is 48 sols lubs. But the Alber Doller with the Cross (which after wearing is worth less then 4s 6d) goes for 52 sols lubs & therefore the other Doller is worth less then 4s 2d & 2 Dollers 9 sols lubs (the value of a Ducat) are less then 9s 1d. And at this rate a Guiena will be worth less then 20s. 5d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$.¦ The Marks & sols lubs are there accounted double to the Marks & sols Dans or of Danemark & the four mark piece or crown of Danemark goes at Hamborough for two Marks lubs & by the assay of several pieces is worth 2s. 8d∟4. And therefore three Marks lubs are worth 4.s 0∟d6. This is the value of the common Hamborough Doller & two Dollers & 9 sols (the value of the Ducat) are 8s. 10∟d4. At which rate a Guinea is worth but 20s.

At Berlin the new Rix Doller with the cross goes for 30 gross, & they have there another Rix doller which goes but for 24 gross & so is not worth above 43$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}$ pence English Exchangers put it at a par with 40 sols of Holland which make s 41∟64 pence English. And the DUcat goes at Berlin for 2$\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}$ of these Rix dollers or 9s. 3d. At which rate a Guinea is worth 20s. 10$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d.

The Lewidor of France & spanish Pistole go at Berlin for between 4$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ & 4$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}$ of these Rix Dollers, that is between 16.s 1d$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}$ & 16.s 5d$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{5}}$. At which rate a Guinea is worth between 20s. 2$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$d & 20s 6$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$.

At Geneva the Hungary Ducat was lately valued at 2 Ecus & 2 or 3 sols of France that is at 9s 2d or 9s 3d At which rate a Guinea is worth about 20s. 10d. There also the Lewidor was lately valued at 3$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}$ Ecus of France or 16s. 10$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$. At which rate a Guinea is worth 21.s 1.d But gold was lately higher in France then at present, which might raise the price of Lewidors at Geneva.

At Bulloign in Italy the Piastre of Spain or piece of 8, went lately for 4$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$ lires & the Pistole of Spain for 15$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$ lires. So that the Pistole is then recconed worth 3$\frac{\mathrm{11}}{\mathrm{17}}$ Piastres which amounts to 16s 4s$\frac{\mathrm{16}}{\mathrm{17}}$, supposing the Piastre worth 4s. 6d. At which rate a Guinea is worth 20s. 5$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$d.

But the coynes of the several Principalities of Italy I cannot yet procure in any competent number so as to make a judgment of the proportional value of gold & silver grounded upon experiment.

By the French Kings Edict of Sept 17 1701, the Marck of fine gold is valued at 494 livres 6 sols 4 deniers & the Marck of fine silver at 32 livres 16 sols seven deniers. According to which proportion a Guinea is worth 20s 8d∟63
