+Cruzado+, a Portuguese gold coin, weighing 71.25 grãos (4,608 grãos
= 1 marc = 229.5 grammes) of fine gold, and consequently worth 9_s._
8_d._ It retained this value up to 1555, when, being coined of gold
having a fineness of 22⅝ carat only, its value was reduced to
9_s._ 2_d._
Up to 1499, 380 réis were accepted as the equivalent of a
cruzado; between 1499 and 1517 the rate of exchange was 390
réis, and after that date 400 réis. This shows that the relative
value of gold to silver was assumed to have been as 1:10 (in
England about the same time the rate of exchange was as 1:11).
The value of 100 réis was consequently 30.5_d._ up to 1499,
29.82_d._ from 1499 to 1517, and 29.08_d._ after 1517 (see
Nunes, _O livro dos Pesos, 1555_, published at Lisbon in 1868;
and M. B. Lopes Fernandes, _Memoria das moedas correntes em
Portugal_, Lisbon, 1856).

+League.+ The Portuguese (Castilian) legoa of 7,500 varas was equal
to 6,269 meters, or 20,568 feet, and 17.72 of these legoas were
consequently equal to one mean degree of a meridian. The Portuguese
pilots generally assumed 17½ of these legoas to be equal to 1°;
and had they known the real size of the earth the league would have
been 6,350 m., an error of only 1.27 per cent. in the estimate of the
size of the earth as determined by observation for latitude taken at
sea.
There can hardly be a doubt that the Italian mile was the
same as the old Roman mile, and had a length of 1,480 m.
Consequently, 4.236 of these miles were equal to a legoa, and
when Sernigi (see p. 124) reckons 4¼ of these miles to a
legoa he is very near the truth. On the Cantino chart 75 Italian
miles are = 1° = 17.5 Portuguese legoas, and if we accept this
estimate the legoa would be = 4.29 Italian miles. The Portuguese
pilots at the Conference of Badajoz (1525), maintained, however,
that 1 legoa = 4 Italian miles. As to Prof. Wagner’s “Portulano
mile” (_Report of Sixth International Geographical Congress_,
p. 698) of only 1,265 m., its shortness is obviously due to the
very common over-estimate of distances, even when there is no
mileage charge as in the case of London cabmen.
