GILT SIXPENCEL—A new species of fraud has lately
been commenced upon the public, which we think it
our duty to guard them against. It consists in the pla-

sort selected for the purpose are those of the coinage of
1821, bearing the head of his present MAJESTY, anti
which precisely correspond to the half sovereign coined
in the year 1825. In fact, they both seem to have
been struck from the same die. There is a slight dif,
Terence in the arms on the reverse side, but that cir-
cumstance might easily escape the notice of those who
are not familiar with that portion of our coinage. The
size of the sixpence being precisely the same as the half
sovereign, together with a similar graining at the edge.
efforts an excellent opportunity for the perpetrators of
this fraud successfully to carry on their depredaoom.
