1786
Lima PERU:
Exported Spanish Goods were 28.43% higher at Lima;
Lima Wholesale was 12% higher in Europe;
Buenaventura Factor higher; unknown.
France:
From Eckfeldt's Manual of Gold and Silver Coins of All Nations (1842), taking the Spanish Piastre Ag Coin-Weight was 0.8583 Ozt. (~26.697 g , 412 Grains; .900) and the French Crown Ag Coin-Weight was 0.8583 Ozt. (~28.77 g, 444 Grains; .912), so:
S$ 1. = L.T. 5.4943 ; S$ 0.1820 ~ L.T. 1. ; 1 Ozt. Spanish Ag Coin (Piastre) = L.T. 6.4011
American State Papers of 1827 (ASSAYS OF FOREIGN COINS. Communicated to the Senate January 17, 1827) suggest the French Crown Ag Coin-Weight was 0.92917 Ozt. (~28.9 g, 446 Grains; .912) ∴ S$ 1. = L.T. 5.5095 ; S$ 0.1815 ~ L.T. 1.
The c.1785 "Propositions respecting the coinage of gold, silver, and copper." suggest the French Crown Ag Coin-Weight was ~0.9423 Ozt. (~29.31 g, 452 Grains; .912) ∴
S$ 1. = L.T. 5.4327 ; S$ 0.1841 ~ L.T. 1.
c.1782 Robert Morris' "Diplomatic Correspondence" suggests the French Crown Ag Coin-Weight was ~0.9468 Ozt. (~29.45 g, 454.5 Grains; .912) ∴
S$ 1. = L.T. 5.40 ; S$ 0.1852 ~ L.T. 1.
Where 1 Paris Marc Ag = 245.1907 Grams or 7.883 Ozt. @ L.T. 49.45,
so: 1 Ozt. Spanish Ag Coin (Piastre) = L.T. 6.2729
Any Discount, likely reflecting Circulated Coinage.

£ 1. (Au) = Fl. 9.5725
Fr. 20. = Fl. 7.5609
руб 5. = Fl. 7.8220
Fl. 1.00 (Au) = £ 0.2243 ; Fr. 2.5879; 0.6485 руб (Ag); S$ 0.4859
whereas Fl. 1.00 (Au) = 0.6495 руб (Pt) : a likely error, not -0.14% discount.
