About this book
The Coinages of the Channel Islands is by Lieutenant-Colonel B. Lowsley, Royal Engineers. The index lists, among others, General Observations on Coinages for the Channel Islands, The Earliest Coins of the Channel Islands, Roman Coins in the Channel Islands and On Early Imported Coins and their Values. The writer of the foregoing notes considers that the earliest history of the Channel Islands is as follows: at first the occupants were Bretons, few in number, pagan, and probably poor fishermen.
An order directs that French liards be reduced to their old value of two deniers each, and that the British half-pence be current for seven deniers and the farthing for three and a half. The text calls the act of the States and the Order in Council, to say the least of them, highly injudicious. The text says £1 notes have been issued, by authority of the States, both for Jersey and Guernsey.
