USA:

1814: US Mint Director confirms the US Federal and Spanish Dollars identical weight, 416 Grains: 0.864583335 Ozt. 






Assuming the French Franc 0.187083333 Ozt and 
Fr. 1. = $ 0.2200217 ; $ 1. = Fr. 4.545



New York: £ 1. = USD$ 4.083 ; USD$ 1. = £ 0.245
Philadelphia: £ 1. = USD$ 4.1024 ; USD$ 1. = £ 0.244

London:
(Spanish Dollar .895833 Fine, 415 Grains)
Average, 1814 : S$ 1. = £ 0.2737 ; $3.6542

1 Ozt Fine Ag = £ 0.38605






Letter of July 30, 1818:

 
August, 1814:

8/1814, London: 1 Troy Oz. Gold (Mkt, .999 ) = £ 4.3626 - £ 4.5818
8/1814, London:  £ 1. = Fr. 22.10 - 23.40 ; £ 0.0427 - 0.452

 


 

In 1813-4, commodities from the West Indies and America doubled in price.
  
 
France:
August/September, Paris (assumed, common) : £ 1. = Fr. 24. ; £ 0.417 = Fr. 1.


1804-14: Fr 1.  4.97 g. @ .902 = 4.483 g. Fine Ag.




Austria:


Where 1 Ducat (3.4909 g *.986 Fine Au = 3.442 g) @ Fl. 4.2333 Gulden (Fl. 1. = 60 Kreutzers), and Fl. 1. (14.029 g. *.833 Fine Ag = 11.786 g),

1 Troy Ounce Gold-Coin (.999 Au) = Fl. 38.254

1 Troy Ounce Silver-Coin (.999 Ag) = Fl. 2.6616

Given the variability of the Florin and Franc coins, Fl.1 = Fr. 2.595 - 2.630 ; conservatively Fr. 2.6120 and commonly stated as "Fl.1 = Fr. 2.6o"
