The Gold moneys of forreign nations w^ch come into England are melted down into Ingots by the Refiners Goldsmiths before they come to the Mint We know \can distinguish/ these Ingots from the Ingots Barrs w^ch come from Lisbon, by their shape \& by the {Goomes} of the Portugal Gold/; but we do not enter this|e| distinction in our books

After the Ingots of Gold are coyned, we have no other way of knowing by our books what {co}me from Portugal what from Iamaica & what from \Spain/ France Ho{lland} & other places then by the Assay, the gold coined out of Moyders being generally standard or a quarter of a grain better then standard, {th}at from out of {illeg} 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 3899^{lw^t} {illeg}|st|andard. Which at 3^li 2^s to y^e pound weight makes 12086^li. 18^s in tale. This silver has been \almost all of it/ got out of English le{illeg}|a|d by a company, incorporated for smelting of Lead Ore w^th pit coale & {illeg} the charges of wood. We know of forreign {illeg}
