Wellington. 155 During the last few weeks Spurious half-crowns have been banded over tho counter of one of tho Napier banks, but they were easily detected and Avere promptly destroyed (states the “ Hawke’s Bay Herald ”). The only counterfeit denomination in circulation seems to be the half-crown, and they are made of some base metal very much like silver, but lighter in weight and do not ring truly. The design is not so clearly executed as that on minted coins, but they arc good enough to pass muster on some occasions.
