And whereas by Our Proclamation, made the thirtieth day of March, One thousand nine hundred and seventeen, We did prohibit, subject as therein provided, the importa- tion into Our United Kingdom of all coins coined in any foreign country other than gold or silver coins:

Now, therefore, We, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council, in pursuance of the said Act and of all other powers enabling Us in that behalf, do hereby proclaim, direct and ordain as follows:-

1. All coins coined in any foreign country other than gold or silver coins are

prohibited to be imported into Our United Kingdom.

2. Our said Proclamation of the thirtieth day of March, One thousand nine

hundred and seventeen, is hereby revoked.

3. This Proclamation shall not affect the provisions of the Prohibition of Import

(Consolidation and Amendment) Proclamation, 1917.
