The Hellanders Coinage Fraud in Dublin May 17
In Dublin a specimen of a new coinage of guineas and half guineas by the Hellanders is shown. The pieces imitate the George I issue with exact heads and titles but differ in reverse design. The gold appears sterling, yet one half guinea weighs lighter by several grains, implying profits near 9 percent. Warnings urge the public to guard against such pernicious coinage and its impact on public credit.
