MY LORD,—I have the honour to transmit to you, for the information of the colony under your government, the accompanying copy of an Order of Her Majesty the Queen in Council, providing for the exchange of light gold coins under "The Coinage Act, 1891."

I have to request that you will take steps to publish this order in the usual manner in the colony under your Government.

I have, &c.,
KNUTSFORD.

The Officer Administering the Government
of New Zealand.

At the Court at Windsor, the 16th day of March, 1892.
Present:

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS by the "The Coinage Act, 1891," it is enacted as follows:—

1. It shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Council, to direct that gold coins of the realm which have not been called in by Proclamation, and are below the least current weight as provided by "The Coinage Act, 1870," shall, if they have not been illegally dealt with, and subject to such conditions as to time, manner, and order of presentation as may be mentioned in the order, be exchanged or paid for by or on behalf of the Mint at their nominal value.

2. For the purposes of this Act a gold coin shall be deemed to have been illegally dealt with where the coin has been impaired, diminished, or lightened otherwise than by fair wear and tear, or has been defaced by having any name, word, device, or number stamped thereon, whether the coin has or has not been thereby diminished or lightened:

And whereas it is expedient to provide for the exchange of such gold coins:

Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, in pursuance of the said Act, and of all other powers enabling Her Majesty in this behalf, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:—

Any gold coins of the realm which have not been called in by Proclamation, and are below the least current weight as provided by "The Coinage Act, 1870," shall at any time after the seventeenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two, if they have not been illegally dealt with, be exchanged or paid for by or on behalf of the Mint at their nominal value, subject to the condition that they must be tendered during business hours at the Bank of England in London, in parcels of a nominal value of not less than one hundred pounds each, and must be left there for such time before the exchange or payment as may be reasonably necessary for examination and weighing in order to ascertain whether any coin has been illegally dealt with within the meaning of the said Act.

And the Master of Her Majesty's Royal Mint is hereby directed to carry into effect the provisions of the said Act for exchanging or paying for at their nominal value all such coins as are so tendered, and have not been illegally dealt with.
