" The official Reichageselzblatt palliates an ix&

to be made in bank notes with premium (Agio)

payment of duties and taxes by coupons of
the loan remains valid and unaltered. It 1,
however, left to the option of the public to request
payment of the interest on the said national
loan in government bonds (Staoto-Schuldverochrei-

bsingen) which after five years from the date the
interest on the national loan becomes due, will be
repaid with compound interest at the rate of 128
gulden for every 100 golden in specie." (In other
words the public will receive for interest now doe
in their option either bank notes at 125f1. for every
1008., or government bonds to be redeemed with
compound interest after five years from the date of
their issue.)
