1 item

We announce to the public that the tax collector (?) (qabdmâl) of the village Jânt (?) belonging to the qadâ’ of Salwari (?) found counterfeit riyâl majîdi among the amount of money that he obtained (qabad). When it was checked at the imperial monetary administration (?) (idârat al maskûkât al shâhânia) it was found that its weight was five drâhim and fourteen qîrât, which means that its weight was one dirham and ten qîrât less that its legal weight, and it was fashioned by copying (?). It has been observed that these majîdiyat have entered (the market) in order to be exchanged (?), so it is necessary to exercise precision and to look carefully (?). If you obtain any of them, alert the government about it. In order for this to be known, these directions were published on the 3rd of Kânûn thâni (1)313 (15th of January 1898).
