A PROCLAMATION

ALTERING THE PROCLAMATION OF THE EIGHTH DAY OF FEBRUARY 2018 TO DETERMINE A NEW VARIATION FROM THE STANDARD WEIGHT FOR TEN PENCE COINS IN SILVER

ELIZABETH R.

Whereas under section 3(1)(cc) and (h) of the Coinage Act 1971 We have power, with the advice of Our Privy Council, by Proclamation to determine the weight of coins to be made at Our Mint, and to alter any Proclamation previously made under the said section:

And Whereas by Our Proclamation dated the eighth day of February 2018 We determined, among other matters, the variation from the standard weight of ten pence coins in silver:

And Whereas it appears to Us desirable to determine a new variation from the standard weight for the said silver coins:

We, therefore, in pursuance of the said section 3(1)(cc) and (h) and of all other powers enabling Us in that behalf, do hereby, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council, proclaim, direct and ordain as follows:

1. In paragraph 2(2)(a) of Our said Proclamation of the eighth day of February 2018, for ‘of 0.06 grammes’ there shall be substituted ‘of 0.16 grammes’.

2. This Proclamation shall come into force on the twenty fifth day of April Two thousand and eighteen.

Given at Our Court at Windsor Castle, this twenty fourth day of April in the year of Our Lord Two thousand and eighteen and in the sixty-seventh year of Our Reign.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
