fabricated of 80 per cent of Silver (instead of 90 per Cent - the dollar Standard) These are all tokens circulating above their metal-value and of which the manufacture is attended with considerable profit particularly the manufacture of the Silver Ten Cent - The next member to clearly the Seventy Cent piece and this pure ought also to be a token composed of the same alloy as the existing Ten Cent - Less urgent but likely to be required in future is another token described above - The "small change" in Silver would thus be the 5, 10 and 20 Cent all tokens. such is the progression which has of late been generally adopted by the centesimal subdivisions decimal coinages - The Scheme dispenses with a Quarter dollar (25 Cents) and in this respect only differs from the series proposed at the time of the Despatch. Then, as suggested in the Despatch, the Series would have the half dollar to be made of fine silver - 50 cents should be considered a token? Of inferior weight it should be of the same proportional weight as the Dollar itself and of equal purity - These two pieces would be the Standards of the Dollar Silver currency holding a place like that of the Sovereign and half Sovereign in the British Gold Currency.
The recommendation contained in the Governor's Despatch that the Royal arms with Supporters should be placed upon the obverse of the half and quarter dollars. It may be doubted whether such change is in itself politic.
