Table of total and yearly average coinage for the periods 1599-1619, 1619-1638, 1638-57 and 1657-1675, showing a steady increase to 1657, the year of the founding of the new East India Company, and a sharp decline thereafter. The Company's excessive export of gold and silver is blamed for inflating the price of bullion to the detriment of the coinage and of trade in land, lead, tin, wool '& other manufactures'.
