Petition for new coinage of copper currency for the Isle of Man
Source
A petition requesting authorization for new copper coinage for the Isle of Man, arguing that no copper currency has been issued since 1758 and that counterfeits have proliferated. The memorialists seek approval for up to £300 in pence and £150 in halfpence to be minted with the Arms of the Island, exchangeable at the rate of fourteen pence per English shilling.
