| Â | British Coins before the Florin, Compared to French Coins of the Ancient Regime |
 | | Since the 1853 weight of a silver Dollar would have been 24.8827888 grams, the silver coins were all set proportional to a 25 gram (.9 fine) dollar in 1873. | | | Anna would be worth only a half and a third of a farthing, respectively. | | | (Also, the old silver half dime was now abandoned -- the nickel five cent piece, suitably called a "Nickel," was more convenient.) |

| | In France, for example, good silver gros tournois were replaced by 1400 as the standard large silver coins by blancs, which were minted half of silver and half of alloy. | | | Although they were all of approximately the same size as each other, containing about two grams of fine silver, the early grossi were initially worth between four and twenty-six of the piccoli, depending on how little silver the local denaro contained. | | | In Constantinople and Pera two carats per hundred perpers were paid, effectively the same scale of charges as in Bruges. |

| | Pre-decimal 10 new pence and 5 new pence coins replaced the florin and shilling in production from 1968 to 1970. | | | By comparison, the total number of silver coins produced in 1787 was about one and a half million. | | | It should be noted that although 1967 was the last year of minting the old coinage for currency, commemorative proof sets including all current denominations were made in 1970 to signal their passing. |
