"There being 20 _sous_ to the _livre_, and 20 _shillings_ to the_ pound_, a shilling became the equivalent of 26 _sous_. The value of the Jersey penny, or _piece de deux sous_, therefore, became 1/13th of a shilling, the half-penny, or sou, 1/26th of a shilling, and the farthing, or _piece de deux liards_, 1/52nd of a shilling." As regards the above, in plain English we may call a _livre_ a franc, a _sou_ a half-penny, and a _liard_ a half-farthing, as current in Jersey. Sir C. W. Fremantle, Deputy-Master of the Royal Mint, has most kindly given me full particulars as to dates and amounts of actual supplies of copper coins to Jersey; and the Viscount of Jersey has furnished me with records of quantities ordered; thus collectors will now be able to judge as to rarity of the different issues, and also to know for certain when they may happen to meet with patterns or coins not sent to Jersey for circulation. NUMBERS OF PIECES ISSUED. Pence Half-Pence Farthings (2 _Sous_).(1 _Sou_). (1/2 _Sou_). Copper coins bearing date 1841.

There was a further supply in 1844 27,040 232,960 -- On December 13th, 1850, there was an No record. order, to the value of L1,000, for copper coins; but there is no record in the Royal Mint that supply was made therefrom. Still, both pence and half-pence of date, 1851, were supplied for currency, and are still common. Copper coins of date, 1858 (ordered to 173,333 173,333 -- value of L2,000 on 15th October, 1857).

In 1869 the old copper 173,333 173,333 -- issues were called in to be used for recoining and re-issue as bronze coinage--as type of late bronze coinage of 1866. These re-coined issues were dated 1870 and 1871. Bronze coins of date, 1871 (in continuance 173,333 173,333 -- of last-named order). Bronze coins of date, 1877. These coins 260,000 312,000 312,000 coins were 1/12th, 1/24th, and 1/48th of a shilling respectively, instead of being 1/13th, &c., as previously. On February 25th, 1876, the leading tradesmen of Jersey had petitioned the States to this effect, and the States ordered L2,000 of the new denominations accordingly. At the same time, the coins of former denominations were called in. This new coinage was ordered through the Royal Mint, but actually struck by Messrs. Ralph Heaton, of Birmingham.
