On 22 December 1717, a royal proclamation was issued, forbidding the exchange of gold guineas for more than 21 silver shillings. This resulted in a silver shortage and effectively moved Britain from the silver standard to its first gold standard.

On 21 September 1717, Newton wrote a report to the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury regarding the bimetallic relationship between gold and silver coins. This report led to the Royal Proclamation on 22 December 1717.

Isaac Newton's 'Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica' was published on 5 July 1687. This seminal work established the laws of motion and universal gravitation, forming the foundation of classical mechanics and revolutionizing the understanding of the physical world.

By May 20, 1665, as evidenced in a manuscript, Isaac Newton had developed calculus to the point where he could compute the tangent and the curvature at any point of a continuous curve. This signifies a major milestone in the development of calculus, which he developed independently of Leibniz.
