As a world economy emerged from the 16th-17th centuries onwards, a
global cashless payment system arose. This had its base in Europe,
first in Italy, then in the rising regions of the north-west, with
Amsterdam and then London as the central financial market. The
mutual quotation of exchange rates, which provide the data
tabulated and analysed here, mark the integration into a global
network of all areas with significant economic potential. The
primary aim of this book is to provide a compact account of the
exchange rates in all these financial markets, from the late 16th
century up to the First World War. This makes possible an instant
conversion between the major world currencies at nearly any date
within that period, while the important introduction provides the
explanation and context of developments. The present handbook
therefore serves as an invaluable resource for those concerned with
all aspects of commercial and financial history.
