HE Empire of Germany being divided into fo many Sovereignties independent of one another, but all paying fome Homage to the Emperor, as Head of that great Body, of which all these petty Princes are Members; and every one coining different Sorts of Money current in his own Dominion, renders fuch an unaccountable Diversity of Money current in the Empire, as obliges me to break through my intended. Method of giving an Account of them all together; and therefore fhall only give an Account of the principal Coins current in the most eminent Places of Trade and Exchange in the Empire. And Switzerland affording as great a Variety of Sorts of Money as any other Place in the Empire, do therefore think proper to begin with those Cantons firft.

SECT. I.

Of the Monies, Weights, and Measures of Geneva.

IN

N Geneva they keep their Accounts in Livres, Sols, and Deniers.

They reckon 20 Sols Current, or 3 Florins 6 Pence Sol of Geneva Money, to a Livre.

A Florin

A Florin goes for 12 Sols or Pence Geneva Money, and one Penny Geneva Money goes at 12 Deniers.

The Crown, or Rixdollar, which they always give in Exchange, they value at 3 Livres, or 20 Pence Gold, or 60 Pence Current, or at 10 Florins 6 Pence of Geneva Money; and one Penny Gold they value at 3 Pence Current: So that they reckon by Florins of 12 Sols, which are but 6 Sols of France.

The Current Coins of Geneva.

The Rixdollar or Crown is valued at 10 Florins 6 Sols, or 4 s. 6d. Sterling.

A Spanish Piftole at 38 Florins 6 Sols.
The Italian Pistole at 37 Florins 6 Sols.
A Ducat at about 20 Florins 6 Sols.

A Crufade, or Crown of Geneva, at 15 Florins.
An Holland Ducatoon at 12 Florins 6 Sols.
A German Dollar, or Patacon, at 10 Florins.
A Florin is 12 Geneva Sols, or 6 French Sols;
and one Sol is 12 Deniers, as aforefaid.

Thefe Pieces do often rife and fall in their Prices. The fmall Coins of Geneva have been found to be worth less than the Switzers and French Coins above 50 per cent. for it is reckoned that 42 Geneva Sols are worth but 10 Switzer Batzen, or 20 Sols Tournois. Notwithstanding this Difference the Geneva Florin does generally pafs for 6 French Sols, as it is faid above.
