What was the market capitalization of the Dutch East India Company? In ounces of gold maybe?

This is a tough one for many reasons. But to simplify as much as possible, let's quote it in at least ounces of gold or silver. That is the way to figure this out. Dutch guilders in 1680 (our target year, let's say) were 0.91 quality silver and weighed 10.6 grams. Good luck guys because I couldn't find this.



And shouldn't the next Googler know what the market cap of the first corporation ever was!!?! Hell yes he should.What was the market capitalization of the Dutch East India Company? In ounces of gold maybe?
The original equity financing amounted to 6.5M guilders. During the bubble, these shares increased in value by a factor of 12 which makes it worth 78M guilders. You can trasnalte that into silver.
