The '''''' (1 Mar. Sess. 2. c. 6), passed in the same year, made it high treason to counterfeit foreign coins, or forge the Queen's privy seal, signet ring or royal sign-manual. That act was repealed and replaced by section 31 of the Forgery Act 1830 (11 Geo. 4 & 1 Will. 4. c. 66), which continued this form of treason until it was repealed in 1861 by the Coinage Offences Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. 99).
