The glitter of gold : France, bimetallism, and the emergence of the international gold standard, 1848-1873 /

This work studies the operation of the international monetary system that prevailed before the emergence of the international gold standard. It shows that France's ability to trade gold for silver, and vice versa, effectively pegged the exchange rate between gold and silver at its legal ratio.
