ItThe 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

d. But if the Rix Doller be of a lower value (as are the Patagon of Holland the Rix Dollers of Holland, Flanders Danemark &c& several parts of Germany the Ducat may go for two Rix dollers & 6 8 or 10 Styvers or above. In Holland the Hung Ducat goes usually for 5 Guilders & about 5 styvers that is in oer money for 9s. 1

\frac{1}{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{1}{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 wthwith the Cross (wchwhich beforeafter wearing is worth less then 4s 6d) goes for 52 sols lubs & that & 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. At wchwhich rate And at this rate a Guiena will be worth less then 20s. 5d

\frac{1}{2}

.¦ Again 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 twoe 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 Dollercommon Hamborough Doller & two Dollers & 9 sols (the value of the Ducat) are 8s. 10∟d4. At wchwhich 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 wchwhich goes but for 24 gross & so is worth but about 40

d. At Venice 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 16 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.
