<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 32292, member: 112&quot;]The French did restrike a lot of old issues during this time - they did from about 1700 onwards. But you are correct to a degree. It wa sbecause of the English silver/gold valuations. They were never the same as found on the continent and thus British silver was routinely exported. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you wish to understand more about this I suggest you obtain a rather inexpensive but very lengthy and detailed book <i>Coins of the World</i> by R.A.G. Carson.</p><p><br /></p><p>The easiest place to find the ratios is typically found in the laws passed regarding coinage. It may be a Royal Edict, in the case of the Spaniards it was. Were I you - I would research there and forget the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you know a total weight of silver struck in any given year - simply use the same percentages I have provided and you will be very close.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
