The Silver coins include those of the United Kingdom, and the Dollars of Spain, elle cœur, and the South American States, each equivalent to the Mexican Dollar. The East India Company's Rupees, Half and Quarter Rupees, at 1/11.11a and 5% respectively.
The Dollars of Spain are rarely, if ever, met with as a perfect coin, but always chopped and pass by weight - 717 Fails being equivalent to 1000 Dollars.
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 Canton - Porto, it is also the principal currency of this Island.
The Copper Coins are those of the United Kingdom and the Copper Cash of China, 24 of which are equal to one penny sterling.
British Silver is not a legal tender above £2.
These Coins have always been taken interchangeably for each other at the above rates according to the accustomed interpretation of the Queen's Proclamation of 10 May 1845, and by a Judgement of the Supreme Court given in 1882 it has been decided that such is the effect of that Proclamation, and that special Contracts must be satisfied in the Coin in which they are made.
The Dollars of Mexico, and the South American Republics in fact all Dollars being of parity, not inferior to that of the current Spanish Dollar are now taken at par.
