During the years 1820-50, when the ratio remained below the legal 15 1⁄2 and there was a profit on the import of silver, the total silver coinage of the French Mint amounted to £127,458,322, while that of gold reached only £19,333,854. In the succeeding period, 1850-66, when the ratio changed and remained for fifteen or sixteen years in favour of
gold, the total gold coinage reached £292,416,951, while the total silver coinage was scarcely more than 1 1⁄4 millions (£1,315,532).
