The value of Gold in proportion to silver in several parts of Europe. The Ecu or French Lewis goes now in France for 3liv. 16sols & is worth 4s 6d English & thence the Livre is worth 1s. 2d∟21. The Lewid'or goes for 14 livres which amount to 16s. 6d∟94 English. At wchwhich rate a Guinea is worth 1li. 0s. 8d∟189. For as 17s 2d∟8 (the value of an new coynd Lewid'or in England (according to the Table) to 16s. 6d∟94 (the value of the same in France) so is 21s. 6d the value of a Guinea in England to 20s. 8d∟

\frac{1}{4}

. By the French Kings Edict of Sept 17, 1701, the Mark of fine gold is valued at 494 livres 6 sols 4 deniers & the Marck of fine silver at 32 livres 16 sols 7 deniers. According to which proportion a Guinea of just weight & fineness is worth 20s 8d∟68

\frac{3}{4}

in silver monies of just weight & fineness. The Ducat is coyned in several parts ofevery where in the Empire & some northern countries adjoyning & is every where of the same weight & fineness, excepting that the Hungary Ducats are more certainly of full value. The Ducat isIt is coynedevery where coyned for two old Rix Dollers of the Empire or nine shillings & usually goes at that rate or within two or three styvers more or less whereas in England it is worth 9s. 6d∟3. But if the Rix Doller be of a lower value as are the Rix Dollers of Holland Flanders Danemarck & several parts of Germany the Ducat may go for two Rix Dollers & 6, 8 or 10 Styvers or above In Holland the Guilder is worth 20∟82 pence & the styver is 1∟041 as may appear by the table of monies. TheAnd there the Ducat goes there usually for 5 Guilders & about five styvers, that is in orour money for 9s. 1d∟3. At which rate a Guinea is worth 20. 6d

\frac{3}{4}

\frac{1}{2}

In the Countries of the Electors of Brandenburg Saxony & Hannover & Dukes of Zell Brunswick Lunenburg Wolfenbuttel Sax Gothe & Landgrave of Hess Cassel& some other places, are coyned Guildens or Guilders of a certainone & the same value by consent of the Princes tho of various allays. These Guilders consist of 16 Gute Groshes & 24 Marien Grosshes & 46 of thoseMarien Grosses are accounted the value of an old Rixdoller or 4s 6d English, so that a Guilder is worth 2s 4d

d. At Hamborough the Ducat goes for two Dollars & about 8 or 9 sols (or sols of Lubec). This Doller is three Marks lubs [& a Marck lubs is 16 sols lubs, so that this Doller is] or 48 sols lubs.,, recconing 16 sols to a mark. But the AlbertCross Doller with the Cross (wchwhich after wearing is worth less then 4s 65d 4s. 4d∟91) goes for 52 sols lubs & therefore the other Doller is worth less then 4s. 21d wchwhich goes but for 48 sols lubs is worth about 4s 0∟84d or thereabouts.. The Marcks & sols lubs are there accounted double to the Marcks & sols Dans or of Danemarck, & the four Marck piece or crown of Danemarck goes at Hamborough for two Marcks lubs, and by the assay of severall pieces is worth 2s 8d∟4. And thereforeat this rate three Marcks lubs are worth 4s. 0d∟6. This is the value of the common Hamborough Doller; & two Dollers & nine sols Lubs (the value of the Ducat) are 8s. 10d∟4. At wchwhich rate a Guinea is worth 20s. 0
