From Car te baf fremuine, 1.95 for Rusper.
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, if ever met with in the Colony.
The United States' 2, 5 and 10 dollar pieces have frequently been found in circulation during the last year.
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. The East India Company's Rupees, Half and Quarter Rupees valued at 2s. 80d., 11d. and 3d. respectively. Five Franc pieces and Dutch Guilders, are occasionally found in circulation, but very seldom, and are not recognized as legal Currency.
The Dollar of Spain is rarely, if ever, met with as a perfect coin, but always chopped or broken, and passes by weight, 717 Dollars being equivalent to $1010. In this state the Spanish Dollar is not a legal tender, but being the standard by which all commercial transactions with the Chinese are regulated at the Consular Ports, it is also the principal currency of the Island.
The Copper coins are those of the United Kingdom, and the Copper "Cash" of China, 24 of which are equivalent to one penny Sterling.
