The only Gold Coin legally current are those of the United Kingdom, and the East India Company's Gold Mohur coined since the 1st September, 1835, value 19s. 2d. sterling. This latter, however, is seldom if ever 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. 3d. sterling. The East India Company's Rupees, Half and quarter Rupees at 1s. 1d., ..., and 3d., respectively. The dollar of Spain is rarely if ever in perfect condition, but always chopped or broken, and passes by weight. Two dollars being equivalent to 1,000 cash. 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 Colony.
The copper Coins are those of the United Kingdom and the Copper Cash of China. 240 of which make one penny sterling.
