A Report Containing an Essay for the Amendment of the Silver Coins (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Reform-era insight into money and value that reshaped coinage policy
This edition presents a 1696 report detailing an argument to raise the value of silver in coins and to reform the minting system. It lays out the practical reasons for changing coin weight, the intended financial effects, and the oversight structure needed to manage this major monetary shift. The document explains how higher silver value could encourage bullion to return to the mint, align currency with market prices, and support daily commerce during wartime.
Readers will gain a clear sense of the debates and calculations that shaped monetary policy in this period. The text blends financial theory with on‑the‑ground concerns about exchange rates, tax, and payment reliability, offering a window into how labor, trade, and government finance interacted in late 17th‑century England.
- Why the silver coin value is proposed to rise and how that affects the price of bullion.
- How coin design, weight, and denominations would stay consistent with tradition while modernizing the system.
- The planned governance and oversight to implement the changes, including roles for treasury officials and mint staff.
- Expected impact on trade, taxation, contracts, and everyday payments in the public economy.
Ideal for readers of economic history, monetary policy, and the evolution of coinage.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history of English coinage, exploring the evolution of standards and values for gold and silver money. The author, examining historical records and indentures, meticulously traces the fluctuating standards of fineness and weight for English coins over a period spanning centuries. His analysis reveals how, even in times of significant change, the English government was continually grappling with issues of monetary stability, seeking to maintain a balance between the perceived needs of the Crown and the interests of its subjects. The book explores the debate surrounding the practice of debasing coins (mixing base metals with precious ones), and the implications for trade and economic growth. The author highlights the complexities of adjusting the monetary system and the political and social consequences of changes to the value of currency. Ultimately, the book offers a nuanced exploration of the interplay between economic policy, political power, and the evolution of monetary systems in England, demonstrating how these forces shaped the economic landscape of the nation.
