GEORGE R.I.

WHEREAS Her late Majesty Queen Victoria, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, did, on the thirteenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, issue Her Royal Proclamation establishing a branch of Our Royal Mint at Perth in Western Australia:

And whereas by the Melbourne Mint Proclamation, 1900, and the Sydney Mint Proclamation, 1900, similar provision was made for establishing Branch Mints at Melbourne in Victoria and at Sydney in New South Wales:

And whereas under the Coinage Act, 1870, as amended by the Coinage Act, 1891, there is power to revoke or alter the said three Proclamations:

And whereas it is expedient that during the present war and a period of one year thereafter the said Proclamations should be modified in the manner hereinafter appearing:

Now, therefore, We have thought fit, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council, and in pursuance of all powers enabling Us in that behalf, to issue this Our Royal Proclamation, and We do hereby proclaim, direct, and ordain as follows:—

1. Where any person brings gold bullion to any of the Branch Mints established under the above-recited Proclamations the Deputy Master of the Branch may, during the continuance of the present war and a period of one year thereafter, instead of delivering out coin to that person as provided by Article 5 in each of the said Proclamations, make payment for the bullion to that person in such manner as may be provided by regulations made under proviso (d) of subsection (1) of those articles, and those articles shall during that period have effect accordingly.

2. This Proclamation may be cited as the Australian Branch Mints Proclamation, 1916.

Given at Our Court at Buckingham Palace this twenty-eighth day of July, in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixteen, and in the seventh year of Our Reign.
