for a design that would lend historical
. significance to the seal of tha bank
examiner, hit upon this coin, and ap
. piled to George H. Rlnes of the Ore
eon Historical aoolety for a brief ' hla-
- tory of tha coin. Mr. Hinea has sub
mitted tha following account of the
- tnemorable event: . ' i"-"
In January, 1849, tha Oregonlana

the summer and fall of 1848, began to
retain with gold dust. This ranged
' In value from f IS to 111 per ounce, and

hence ' much dissatisfaction arose

no obvUto tha difficulty and to
provide against deception,' William H.
eotor petitioned the legislature of tha
provisional government, tnen in session
to pass - a law providing f or tha o!b-
aga of money After much aiscussioa
and a good deal of opposition, such a
law was -passed February faT-rlScSpre
vidlng for every detail, and s of floors
were elected to carry out tha provi-

could be put Into effect, -Governor
Joseph Lane arrived and piacea too

ef eight well known oiusens, and anout
II8.S0I ta IS and 110 -gold pieces were
coined and put lata circulation and
' ao oonttnued until : soma time in 18S4,
when they passed from general olrcu-
; latlon, owing to , their lntrlnslo value
being from I to 10 per : cent greater
than their faoe value. On the obverse
aide appeared the Initials of the mem-
bera of tha . company, a figure of a
beaver, tha letters "O. T.' standing for
; Oregon territory," and the figures 184.'
The. initials represented . the following
names: K, KUborn; M.. Marrufieq T,

that has coma before tha publio Is a
