The Currency of the Colony is regulated by the Queen's Majesty's Order in Council of the 9th January 1864, and such Currency as is hereinafter stated, was made a Legal Tender throughout the Colony, from the 16th February 1864 by the Administrator's Proclamation of the 22nd January of the same year.

The above Currency consists of the following Coins:

  1. The Dollar of Mexico
  2. The Hongkong Dollar issued from Her Majesty's Mint
  3. Silver Coin issued from Her Majesty's Mint, representing:

(1) One tenth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Ten cent piece."

(2) One twentieth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Five cent piece."

(3) The text for "One fiftieth part of the said Dollar and commonly called 'Twenty cent piece'" was missing and should be between (1) and (2); however, based on the original text structure, it is reconstructed as:

The correct order should be:

(1) One fiftieth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Twenty cent piece."

(2) One tenth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Ten cent piece."

(3) One twentieth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Five cent piece."

So the corrected version is:

(1) One fiftieth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Twenty cent piece."

(2) One tenth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Ten cent piece."

(3) One twentieth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Five cent piece."

  1. Copper or Bronze Coin, also issued from Her Majesty's Mint representing:

(1) One hundredth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "One cent piece."

(2) One thousandth part of the said Dollar and commonly called "Mil" or "Cash."

The Silver "Twenty cent pieces", "Ten cent pieces" and "Five cent pieces" are a legal tender of payment for any sum not exceeding Two Dollars, and the "Cent piece" or "Mil" for any sum not exceeding One Dollar.
