James II's arms 〈…〉 〈…〉 By the KING A PROCLAMATION  
JAMES R.  
WHEREAS We have for weighty reasons, with the Advice of Our Privy Council thought fit to call in all the Half crown pieces of Copper and Brass Money, which appear by the stamp upon them to have been coined within this Our Kingdom, before the Month of May last, yet so as Our loving Subjects, who have such Money in their hands, may thereby suffer no loss, but receive other current Money in exchange thereof from the Commissioners of Our Mint; Our will and pleasure is, and We do hereby with the Advice aforesaid Order and Declare that no Half-crown of Copper and Brass Money, which hath been coined before the said Month of May, shall pass or be current Money in any payment within the City or County of the City of Dublin from or after the last day of this present Month of June, nor in any other part of the Province of Leinster after the fifteénth day of July next, nor in any other part of this our Kingdom after the last day of July aforesaid, And Our further will and pleasure is, and We do hereby strictly charge and command the Commissioners of Our Mint in Our Cities of Dublin and Limerick, to Receive and Exchange all such Half-crown pieces as shall within the time aforesaid be brought in to them, by paying to the persons that shall bring in the same, the like sum of other current Money and that without any delay or deduction whatsoever; And for the ease of such persons as live in places far distant from the said Cities of Dublin and Limerick, and have but small sums of the said Money in their hands, We do require the several Collectors and Receivers of Our Revenue to Exchange in like manner all such Half Crowns as shall within the time aforesaid be brought in to them; And in case they have not money enough of Ours in their hands to pay in Exchange thereof, to give assignments for the same upon Our receivers Generals, who are hereby required to make present payment upon such Assignments.  
Given at Our Court at Our Castle of Dublin the 15th day of June 1690. And in the Sixth Year of Our Reign.  
GOD SAVE THE KING.
