TREASURY RESTRICTED 30th June

Sir,
The Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury
have had under consideration Mr Meade's letter of the 12th
May last respecting the proposal of the Government of
Hong Kong for the issue of a token coin for 50 cents, and
They direct me to inform you that They concur with Lord
Knutsford in thinking that the circulation of such a coin
would not be less suitable for Hong Kong than it has
proved to be in the Straits Settlements
My Lords agree that the proposed coin will
be issued in pursuance of the provisions of Her Majesty's
Proclamation of 9th January 1863, and that no further
legislation will be required.
They have accordingly authorized the Master of the
Mint to supply twenty-five thousand dollars worth of the
new coins upon the usual conditions
