Description | It has been understood from this report that some Germans manufactured out of nickel some small coins of currency ranging from 0.05 piasters to 0.40 piasters and that these were used by the townsfolk instead of money. It is prohibited and illegal for these coins to be manufactured by such people and used among the townsfolk as a currency; thus, it is appropriate to send a letter to the German Consulate for an immediate removal of these pieces by whomever they are manufactured and for a warning to prevent them to circulate again among the townsfolk. The 16th of Mârt (1)314 (28th of March 1898). [9 signatures] |
