Bronze coins of date, 1881. L260 worth 81,380 -- -- of bronze farthings of 1877, for which there had been no demand in Jersey, were sent back to the Mint, and re-coined into pence, and thus re-issued. Bronze coins of date, 1888. (L2,000 were 195,000 130,000 -- ordered, but only L1,000 supplied). In 1894 the remainder of the bronze coinage ordered for Jersey in 1888 was supplied. The value of this further supply, bearing date 1894, was L_750_ in coins 1/12th of a shilling, and L_250_ in coins 1/24th of a shilling. The original "States" authority was of the 16th January, 1888, confirmed by Order in Council dated 17th March, 1888. The first half, L750 and L250 respectively in denominations, had been re-coined in September, 1888. The descriptive reading of the first copper coinage of Jersey is as follows, dates and values being altered as required--values issued being 1/13th, 1/26th, and 1/52nd of a shilling:-- _O._ Dexter Bust[H] of Her Majesty the Queen, with hair banded, as in the English contemporary shilling, with the legend VICTORIA: D: G: BRITANNIAR: REGINA F.D.: 1841. [H] By _dexter_ bust is meant that the features, as eye, nose, and mouth, are towards the dexter edge of the coin or shield. _R._ Ornamented Shield of Arms of Jersey (_gules_--three lions or leopards passant gardant), with STATES OF JERSEY around upper half--1/13 OF A SHILLING around lower half. This type was issued from 1841 to 1861 intermittently. The bronze coinages of dates 1866, 1870, and 1871 have the bust coroneted, and an oak leaf scroll, and the ONE THIRTEENTH written fully instead of expressed in figures and as a fraction, and initials of Leonard C. Wyon on truncation of neck. The issues were but of 1/13th and 1/26th of a shilling--none of 1/52nd (farthings). The bronze coinage of 1877 and subsequently reads as follows--with differences for values and dates:-- _O._ Dexter Coroneted Bust of Her Majesty, with seven-pointed star below, and letter H for Heaton (minters) within the legend VICTORIA D.G. BRITANNIA REGINA F.D. _R._ A pointed Shield of Jersey arms, dividing the date 18-77--STATES OF JERSEY above, and ONE TWELFTH OF A SHILLING around lower half. These were issued of the values 1/12th, 1/24th, and 1/48th of a shilling, thus inaugurating for the Jersey penny the same fractional part of a shilling as obtained for the English penny. ON GUERNSEY COINS FROM THE MIDDLE AGES. I am very greatly indebted to the Rev. G. E. Lee, M.A., F.S.A., Rector of St. Peter's Port, Guernsey, for the trouble he has kindly taken in searching old records and statutes relative to the currency in that island during the last 350 years. He has courteously given me permission to publish his extracts just as transcribed, and I here append these accordingly:-- ON GUERNSEY CURRENCY. _Orders of the Royal Court and of the States of Guernsey._ ROYAL COURT:
