All bullion or foreign coin brought to the Mint for coinage is subject to a seignorage of
two per cent.; but upon the re-coinage of rupees, struck at any of the Honourable Com-
pany's mints, a duty of one per cent, only is levied.
Upon all bullion of a quality inferior to standard (unless the same be required at the Mint
for the purposes of alligation), a charge is made for the expense of refining the said bullion
up to the quality of the rupee, at the rate of *04 per cent, per dwt. of worseness in the assay
report. Thus, upon bullion reported 12idwts. worse, the charge for rehnagewillbe,—
12^ multiplied by *04 — 0*50, or one-half per cent.
Upon 20 Wo. it will be 20 x *04 = 0 80 per cent,
and so on for silver of other qualities, as in the following Table :—
