16 Oiv. As No. 14, but date is 1839. 



Rev. As No. 14, but the motto is banque du peuple, in incused letters. 

 Size 34 m. 



From the motto it would appear that a coinage was proposed by 

 La Banque du Peuple in 1839, but as no corresponding halfpenny is 

 known, this is altogether unlikely.

This is evidently a mule by crossing the obverse die of a front view 

 penny of 1842, with the reverse of a City Bank penny of 1837, as it has 

 been occasionally met with in circulation, we are led to infer that 

 during the coinage of 1842 a die belonging to that of 1837 had accident- 

 ally been employed. This proves that the two coinages were executed 

 by the same firm,
