Note 5 — Chapter XXXIV · AND LAST (continued 2)
Henry Yule translation
For ¹⁄₁₈ of the florin will be 6·23
d.
, and deducting ⅕, as pointed out above, we have 4·99
d.
as the value of the
grosso
.
I have a note that the grosso contained 42⁶⁸⁄₁₄₄ Venice grains of pure silver. If the Venice grain be the same as the old Milan grain (·051 grammes) this will give exactly the same value of 5d.
