Whereas we are informed that a considerable quantity of gold & silver has been taken by our Royal Fleet at the late Expedition at Vigo, Our will & pleasure is & we do hereby require & authorise you to cause to be coyned all such Gold & Silver as shall be brought into our Mint and delivered unto you in the name of with this inscription Vigo in small letters under Our Effigies, which we intend as a mark of distinction from the rest of our Gold & silver moneys and to continue to posterity the remembrance of that glorious action. And for so doing this shall be your Warrant. Given at our Court &c
