HC Deb 14 May 1935 vol 301 c1554W
Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any facilities are offered to the British overseas to purchase coins specially minted for the Jubilee, or whether sales are restricted to people in this country?

Mr. COOPER

Arrangements have been made with all Dominion and Colonial Governments and the Government of India for the commemorative silver medals struck by the Royal Mint to be available for purchase locally on the same terms as in this country. The silver crown piece specially minted for the Jubilee in this country cannot be circulated as currency overseas, but anyone who wishes to obtain a specimen should have no difficulty in doing so through his bankers.
