Notes

Printed in NC, 6: 422-3.||Reports on the quantities coined, with a breakdown of the sources of the silver, and on progress with making puncheons and dies for the new copper coinage. Some experimentation is still needed to determine the best way of preparing the copper now to be used, as the workers are only used to dealing with coarser varieties which require less sophisticated treatment.
