Goldberg’s instructions discuss the transfer of rupee accounts, the taking over of government offices and the collection of tax arrears when guilder reckoning is introduced. Read with the implemented 1817 account ordinance, they support fiscal account succession. They do not establish every private contract rate or settle whether all regional usages crossed the same identity boundary.

The 1817 ordinance requires government accounts in Indies guilders. The associated instructions explicitly address transferring rupee books, taking over offices and collecting tax arrears when guilder reckoning is introduced. This supports qualified fiscal succession from Java rupee accounting to Indies guilder accounting. The connection rests on account transmission, not an equal coin tariff, and does not assert a universal rate for all debts.

Article 2 of the monetary ordinance of 14 January 1817 requires all accounts with the government to be stated in Indies guilders. It reckons an Indies guilder as 120 duits or 30 Indies stuivers, and separately converts payments fixed in Netherlands guilders at 100 duits each. This is an account rule, not merely a description of a coin.
