17th Century Coins

numerous coins, weights, and measures are mentioned in the dutch records, many of them undoubtedly unfamiliar to either the general lector or the historian. A list of such terms and their values was prepared by A. J. F. van Laer and included as an appendix to The Van Rensselaer Manor Bowier Manuscripts published 1909. however, in the thirty years following publication of that work, Mr. van Laer uncovered much extra information which he noted in his copy of the book. The take after charts incorporate material selected both from the original list and from the annotations. It should be noted that there were no cosmopolitan standards in the seventeenth hundred, as is apparent from several of the comply terms for which Mr. van Laer cites numerous variations in prize .
