¶ By the queen.  
THe queens majesty having not long since given her loving subiectes knowledge by Proclamation, of certain foreign coins of gold brought into this realm, of much less value then Angels of gold of this realm, and yet stamped so like to the same Angels, as it was hard without diligent marking therof, to decern the one from the other: Is newly informed, that an other sort of foreign coin of gold, of great quantity, is likewise brought of late time into the realm, being stamped like the royals of gold of. x.s. and yet being much less in value both in weight and fynenesse, whereby many of her good subiectes receiving the same, are daily deceived and damaged. And for that purpose, her majesty hath thought very meet to warn al her subiectes to take diligent heed and regard to these maner of notable deceipts, intended by evil disposed persons, in utterance of the said foreign coins.  
And for remedy herein, Her majesty straightly chargeth and commandeth all maner of persons, that haue or shall haue any coins of gold or silver, being made or formed in likeness to the angel or royal of gold of this realm, or like to any other piece of coin of gold or silver, allowed to be currant money in this realm, & shal of their own knowledge, or by admonition of any other, understand the same coins, not to be lawful currant moneys of this realm, in no wise to utter any of the same to any person in the name of any moneys, but only to sell or change them at the mint, or otherwise use them as Bullion, according to their weight and fineness, upon pain that whosoever shall do to the contrary, shalbe attached, and committed to prison, there to remain without bail or maynepryse, until her majesties express pleasure in that case shalbe certainly known. And shal further suffer that, which shal be due to persons committing such offences, tending to the derogation of the dignity of this crown, and to the manifest deceit and colourable robbery of her highnes people.  
And because it may manifestly appear to the sight of her subiectes, howe to avoid the deceipts already discovered, in the utterance of the foresaid coins: Her majesty hath ordered, that there shalbe printed and publysshed herewith, the true pryntes and stamps, of the Angels and Royals being the currant moneys of this realm, and also the stamps of the foreign moneys above mentioned, which do in part resemble her majesties said moneys, and in part do in dede differ from the same, although without regard thereto had, either by weight or sight, they may seem all one, and not different.  
And for that it may be, that mo like attempts willbe invented hereafter, to devise other coins, to resemble the rest of the coins of gold or silver being currant in this realm, thereby to deceive her people: Her majesty willeth, that al her Sheriffes in all Counties for the time being, and all 〈◇〉, and head officers, of towns Corporate, and Baliffes of liberties, whensoever they or any of them, shal perceive that this abuse shall hereafter be revived in the vttrance of these coins, or that any new attempt shall appear, for any like deceypt to be used to the prejudice of other currant moneys of this realm: They shal cause this her proclamation without further commandment, to be newly proclaimed, and set up in time and place accustomend, adding to the end of this proclamation, an admonition to the people, to beware of such other strange moneys by name, as shall not be allowable to be currant within this realm. And shal further use al good means, to try and search out the offenders against the meaning hereof, and without delay, shall commit the same to strait prison, according to the intent of this present proclamation.  
given at Westminster the first day of December. 1565. the eight year of her majesties reign.  
God save the queen.
