The Jersey Copper Coinage
of 1858

Ten manuscript letters, acts, orders, endorsements, and die records tracing the authorisation and execution of a copper coinage for the States of Jersey — from the States' Act of October 1857, through Privy Council sanction and Treasury instruction, to the Mint's commencement of striking and a late reduction from £2,000 to £1,000 owing to the high price of copper.
