letter
No. C/R-76 of the 2nd March about the Shaikh
of Bahrain's wish to introduce his own metal
coinage. I enclose copies cf telegrams exchanged
with the Foreign Office cn this subject. You
have already discussed the matter with Goadby,
and Dredge has also mentioned it to Grant who sees
no particular objection to it provided the coins
are of the same denomination as the existing Indian
coinage which I gather is what is proposed.
2. I am not much in favour of the proposal
myself and suggest that you should do your best
to ride the Shaikh off it. If he insists on proceed
ing with it we may may have to give way, but should
obtain from him a guarantee that he will not interfere
with the circulation of the Indian small coinage.
2. Personally, I think it preferable that he
should issue his own stamps rather than his own
coinage. I went into this question at Aden where the
Sultan of Mukallah has his own stamps, and brought
back with me a copy of the formal agreement under which
he has been permitted to do this. I have sent the
papers to Breach for his views and will consult you
before taking any further action.
