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.
