At that time, Congress, in enacting a mintage law, discontinued the coinage of the standard silver dollar, then practically out of circulation.

当时，国会通过了一项铸币法，停止了标准银元的铸币， 此后几乎停止流通。

In the English mint, a pound weight of standard silver bullion is coined into sixty-two shillings, containing, in the same manner, a pound weight of standard silver.

在英国铸币厂，一磅重的标准银块被铸造成六十二先令，以同样的方式包含一磅重的标准银。

In England it is defrayed by the government; and if you carry a pound weight of standard silver to the mint, you get back sixty-two shillings, containing a pound weight of the like standard silver.

在英国，它由政府支付； 如果你把一磅重的标准银带到铸币厂， 你会得到六十二先令， 其中包含一磅重的标准银。

Five shillings and twopence an ounce, therefore, is said to be the mint price of silver in England, or the quantity of silver coin which the mint gives in return for standard silver bullion.

因此，每盎司五先令二便士被认为是英格兰的银币铸币厂价格，或者铸币厂为换取标准银块而提供的银币数量。
