Note 77 — THE EARLIEST HISTORY. (continued 2)

Havilland Le Mesurier Chepmell translation

Sixty stivers made a dollar of Cologne, the value of which is estimated at 23 silver groats (Silbergroschen). An as is therefore something less than 7 Prussian pennies 6⁹⁄₁₀ths.—Germ. Edit.

One Prussian dollar = 30 Silv. gr.

One Silver gr. = 12 pennies.

The dollar (thaler) = 2s. 9d.

The as = ²⁵³⁄₄₀₀ penny Sterling.—Transl.
