uently reads as follows--with
differences for values and dates:--

_O._ Dexter Coroneted Bust of Her Majesty, with seven-pointed star
below, and letter H for Heaton (minters) within the legend VICTORIA
D.G. BRITANNIA REGINA F.D.

_R._ A pointed Shield of Jersey arms, dividing the date 18-77--STATES
OF JERSEY above, and ONE TWELFTH OF A SHILLING around lower half.
These were issued of the values 1/12th, 1/24th, and 1/48th of a
shilling, thus inaugurating for the Jersey penny the same fractional
part of a shilling as obtained for the English penny.

ON GUERNSEY COINS FROM THE MIDDLE AGES.

I am very greatly indebted to the Rev. G. E. Lee, M.A., F.S.A., Rector
of St. Peter's Port, Guernsey, for the trouble he has kindly taken in
searching old records and statutes relative to the currency in that
island during the last 350 years. He has courteously given me permission
to publish his extracts just as transcribed, and I here append these
accordingly:--
