A PROCLAMATION, 
 Anent the LEG and CROSSE-DOLLARS.  
HOLYRUDE-HOUSE, the fourteenth day of January, one thousand six hundred and seventy.  
FOrasmuch as there have been of late imported into this Kingdom, great numbers of these Dollars commonly called Leg-Dollars, having the impression of a Man in Arms with one Leg, and a Shield containing a Coat of Arms covering the other Leg upon the one side, which do usually pass at the rate of fifty eight shillings Scots money: And seeing that upon trial of the intrinsic worth and value thereof, they are found to fall short of the foresaid rate; and that in the United Provinces where the said's Dollars are coined, they pass only at the rate of Cross-Dollars. Therefore, and for preventing any further prejudice which the Liege's may sustain therethrough, the King's Majesty, with advice of His Privy Council, doth Declare, That (the Rex or Bank-Dollar now passing at fifty eight shillings Scots) the true and just rate and price at which the foresaid Leg-Dollars ought to pass and be current in this Kingdom, is fifty six shillings Scots money; and that none of His Majesty's Subjects shall hereafter be holden and obliged to take or receive these Leg-Dollars, in any payment of moneys to be made to them, at any higher rate than fifty six shillings, money foresaid, the piece, wherever the same have been coined: As also, that the Cross-Dollars do pass in this Kingdom after this day at fifty six shillings Scots. And Ordains these presents to be printed, and published at the Mercat-cross of Edinburgh, and other places needful, that none pretend ignorance.
