<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 249421, member: 5580&quot;]The threehalfpence coins were struck for circulation in Jamaica and Ceylon.</p><p>I quote F.Pridmore in &quot;The Coins of the British Commonwealth of Nations - Part 3 - West-Indies&quot;:<i>Like the threepence, the 1 1/2d was first approved for Jamaica by Treasury letter dated 12th September 1834 and each subsequent order received separate approval. In Jamaica this denomination passed under the name of &quot;quattie&quot; or equivalent of the old Spanish 1/4 real. Royal Mint records show that the 1 1/2d coinages were sent to the same colonies as the threepence, except Malta who only received the threepence.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Pridmore gives as mintage for 1839 760,320. Krause always rounds off its figures.</p><p><br /></p><p>The twopence of 1838 was used as a circulation coin in British Guiana where it passed as 1/2 bitt.</p><p>Mintage for 1838 is 1,045,440</p><p><br /></p><p>The fourpence of 1836 with Brittannia on the reverse, which, according to Krause, has primarly been used in British Guiana, has a mintage of 4,253,000 . This is a Krause figure, as Pridmore doesn&#039;t include any fourpence prior to 1888.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
