Mint Office.
17 Ian. 171 $\frac{4}{5}$ .

Having in a late Memorial signified to your Lordships that the Arms in the fourth Escutcheon may prove too much crouded on the Reverses of the half Guineas & Sixpences: for removing that difficulty I humbly present your Lordships with the Designes hereunto annexed for those Reverses, the same being the chi{ef} parts of his Majesties Arms proposed by the Earl Marshal & approved of. And I humbly propose that the same may be laid before his Majesty in Council for his approbation if it be thought fit.

All which is most humbly submitted to your Lordships great wisdom

I. N.
