nze coins of date, 1877. These coins 260,000 312,000 312,000
coins were 1/12th, 1/24th, and 1/48th
of a shilling respectively, instead of
being 1/13th, &c., as previously. On
February 25th, 1876, the leading
tradesmen of Jersey had petitioned the
States to this effect, and the States
ordered L2,000 of the new denominations
accordingly. At the same time, the
coins of former denominations were
called in. This new coinage was ordered
through the Royal Mint, but actually
struck by Messrs. Ralph Heaton, of
Birmingham.

Bronze coins of date, 1881. L260 worth 81,380 -- --
of bronze farthings of 1877, for which
there had been no demand in Jersey,
were sent back to the Mint, and re-coined
into pence, and thus re-issued.

Bronze coins of date, 1888. (L2,000 were 195,000 130,000 --
ordered, but only L1,000 supplied). In
1894 the remainder of the bronze
coinage ordered for Jersey in 1888 was
supplied. The value of this further
supply, bearing date 1894, was L_750_
in coins 1/12th of a shilling, and
L_250_ in coins 1/24th of a shilling.
The original "States" authority was of
the 16th January, 1888, confirmed by
Order in Council dated 17th March,
1888. The first half, L750 and L250
respectively in denominations, had been
re-coined in September, 1888.

The descriptive reading of the first copper coinage of Jersey is as
follows, dates and values being altered as required--values issued being
1/13th, 1/26th, and 1/52nd of a shilling:--

_O._ Dexter Bust[H] of Her Majesty the Queen, with hair banded, as in
the English contemporary shilling, with the legend VICTORIA: D: G:
BRITANNIAR: REGINA F.D.: 1841.

[H] By _dexter_ bust is meant that the features, as eye, nose, and
mouth, are towards the dexter edge of the coin or shield.

_R._ Ornamented Shield of Arms of Jersey (_gules_--three lions or
leopards passant gardant), with STATES OF JERSEY around upper half--1/13
OF A SHILLING around lower half. This type was issued from 1841 to 1861
intermittently.

The bronze coinages of dates 1866, 1870, and 1871 have the bust
coroneted, and an oak leaf scroll, and the ONE THIRTEENTH written fully
instead of expressed in figures and as a fraction, and initials of
Leonard C. Wyon on truncation of neck. The issues were but of 1/13th
and 1/26th of a shilling--none of 1/52nd (farthings).
