Essequebo and Demerary Royal Gazette 1811 December 14

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14th, 1811.

Proclamation, [heading]
By His Excellency Henry William Bentinck, Esquire, Governor and Commander in Chief in and over the Colonies of Demerary and Essequebo, with their Dependent Districts, Vice-Admiral, President in all Courts and Colleges within the same, &c. &c. &c.
Whereas there has been produced before us several counterfeit coins, in imitation of the Three-Bit pieces, which were cut out of the centre of the silver dollars, for the purpose of circulation in this Colony, which counterfeits appear to be of lead, or some mixed metal, and the letters "E & D," with the word, "3 Bts," are of a different dye and larger than those originally stamped on the pieces cut out of the dollar, (specimens of which may be seen at the Office of the King's Receiver); we hereby caution all persons of the above fraud, enjoining all His Majesty's faithful subjects to give their assistance in the detection of the same, that the perpetrators thereof may be brought to punishment.
And whereas, since the introduction of a regular Colonial Coinage into these Colonies, the said pieces are become, in a great measure unnecessary, we have thought fit to direct, in order the better to frustrate the evil intentions of the parties so imitating them, that they be withdrawn from circulation. It is therefore hereby ordered, that all persons possessing any of the said coin do bring them to the Office of the King's Receiver within one month from this date, when the genuine pieces will be exchanged for the current coin of the Colony; after which time they are no longer to be considered as good payment in any transaction.
Given under my hand and seal at arms, at the King's House, Stabroek, this 14th day of December, 1811.
H. W. Bentinck.
By His Excellency's Command,
Chas. Aug. Dale,
Gov. Sec.
