Sebastian For a reliable calculation you might visit the website of the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam: They offer a link that enables you to determine the purchasing power of a 1570 Dutch guilder compared to its present value (in dollars, pounds and euro). The link is: http://www.iisg.nl/hpw/calculate.php Using this computation 6 guilders and 10 stuivers in the year 1570, has a "purchasing power" of fl. 403.82 ( 183.25 or 159 British Pounds) nowadays.
