The only gold coins legally current are those of the United Kingdom, and the East India Company's gold Mohur coined since the 1st September, 1835, value £1.9.2 sterling. This latter, however, is seldom, perhaps never met with in the Colony.
The silver coins, besides those of the United Kingdom, are the Dollars of Spain, Mexico, and the South American States, each equivalent to 4s. 2d. sterling, and the East India Company's Rupee, Half, Quarter and Eighth of Rupee, at 7/10, 1/2, 5/16, and 1/2¾ respectively. Five Franc pieces, and Dutch Guilders, probably brought from Batavia, are occasionally found in circulation, but they are not recognised as currency.
The copper coins of Great Britain, from Penny to a Half Farthing are current, as are the copper "Cash" of China. Three of these last equal a Half Farthing.
