Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history of English coinage, exploring the evolution of standards and values for gold and silver money. The author, examining historical records and indentures, meticulously traces the fluctuating standards of fineness and weight for English coins over a period spanning centuries. His analysis reveals how, even in times of significant change, the English government was continually grappling with issues of monetary stability, seeking to maintain a balance between the perceived needs of the Crown and the interests of its subjects. The book explores the debate surrounding the practice of debasing coins (mixing base metals with precious ones), and the implications for trade and economic growth. The author highlights the complexities of adjusting the monetary system and the political and social consequences of changes to the value of currency. Ultimately, the book offers a nuanced exploration of the interplay between economic policy, political power, and the evolution of monetary systems in England, demonstrating how these forces shaped the economic landscape of the nation.
