Valuation of another three two-real pieces and new estimate of the total amount to be produced by the reminting as 4,189,000 two-real pieces

<209r>

The three spanish pieces of two Ryals which were sent to me by your Lordships order to be examined are very unequally coined. One of them weighd 3dwt 6$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}$ grains & is 4$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$dwt worse then our standard. Another weighd 3dwt 13grains & is standard scant. A third weighs 3 dwt 10$\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}$gr & is 4$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$dwt worse. These three & that which by your lordships order I caused to be assayed some weeks agoe & which was 3$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}$dwt worse then standard, & weighed 3dwt 6gr, are one with another at a medium in weight 3dwt 9gr & in Assay 3$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{16}}$dwt worse than standard & in value 10d$\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{16}}$.+[1] And if a Mexico piece of eight be worth 4s 6d then 800000 pieces of eight will make about 4189000 two Ryall pieces of K. Charles.

5 Carolu's & $\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{9}}$ of a Carolus equal a Mexico piece of 8. 47 Caroluses equal 9 pieces of 8 & 8000000 pieces of 8 should make 4180000 Carolusses.

If a piece of 8 be recconed at 54d, 800000 pieces of 8 will make 4189100 Carolusses. But $\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}$ per 100 abated brings it to 4175000
