Broadsheet, 556:476 mm. Traces of folds. A large currency table intended for wall-mounting, as it was variously issued during the last decades of the 18th century for the use of British merchants, giving the exchange rates of the European and even overseas currencies at the rates prevalent near the end of the Ancien Régime.
