notes: label: Description
content: Prior to 1652, the only coinage available in the American colonies was that brought in from overseas. As colonies of England, the English shilling represents the system in to which other countries’ coins would have been converted by American merchants. The value of a coin, English or otherwise, was based on its weight and metal content. If the metal was known, value could be readily calculated.
