Edict on Coin and Bullion Restrictions in Early 18th Century France
The excerpt outlines strict controls on precious metals and coinage, banning silver and gold bullion imports, restricting currency, and detailing penalties for aiding hoarding or illicit minting. It also covers officer duties, official pay scales, and enforcement measures, including fines, confiscation, and rewards for information leading to prosecutions. Additionally, a Dublin customs notice from 1719 describes rewards for capturing violators and stolen wool shipments, with penalties and pardons across enforcement actions.
