The States, considering that it was very difficult to obtain money made from billon and that it proved to be a great inconvenience in the realm of commerce decided to sanction Her Majesty's Excellent Council, in the making of the money out of copper, in a way such that the pieces could represent the thirteenth part of a shilling, the twenty-sixth part of a shilling, and other denominations for the penny, in an amount not to exceed one thousand pounds sterling; and so charged a commission made up of Phillipe de Ste Croix, Eer., Jure de Venble Homme, Francois Jeune, Rector of St. Helier and the Constable of St. Helier, to put into place the current Act when it had been Royally Sanctioned, and to give a denomination to said monies.

Les Etats, considerant qu'il est tres difficile de se procurer de la monnaie de billon et que le commerce en eprouve de grands inconveniens ont decide, moyennant la sanction de SA TRES EXCELLENTE MAJESTSE EN CONSEIL, d'emettre de la monnaie au cuivre, de maniere qu'il y ait des pieces qui representent la treizieme partie d'un chelin, d'autres la vingt-sixieme et d'autres la motie de ces derniers, et ce a un montant n'execedant pas mille livres sterling; et on charge un Comite compose de Phillipe de Ste Croix, Eer., Jure de Venble Homme, Francois Jeune, Recteur de St. Helier et du Connetable de St. Helier, de mettre le present Acte a execution lorsqu'il aura recu La Sanction Royale, et de donner une denomination a la dite monnaie.
