Comments


In 1688 the price of the gold ant the silver increased by 20%. There was no time to collect and cast the circulating coin. Therefore, by the Law 04AUG1688, the value of the silver and gold coins was also increasedby 20%. However, during ~150 years the coinage remains unchanged with the circulating coins having a value ~20% above the mark.
