Commonwealth (1649-1660), Farthing [1654], in pewter, issued by Tobias Knowles, tk within wreath of roses above shield bearing cross moline, rev. shield bearing Irish harp, sun with rays over and around, 6.64g/6h (Whittell, TCSB March 2015, fig. 2; Cooke 816; BMC 373; cf. DNW 136, 612). Some surface corrosion, fair to fine, very rare £600-£800 --- Provenance: Dorotheum Auktion 509 (Vienna), 18 May 2009, lot 2457. Tobias Knowles (1601-68), originally from Kingston-upon-Thames, pewterer, served in the army, first for Charles I and then on the Parliamentary side during the Civil War, rising to the rank of captain. With the advent of Commonwealth rule, Knowles petitioned Parliament to be allowed to make farthings for the state and in so doing recover the £5,468 he reckoned it had cost him to support the Parliamentary cause in the War. Initially his efforts came to nothing, probably because David Ramage and his cohort of moneyers in the Tower were already running a very profitable enterprise manufacturing tokens for private merchants. Undaunted, Knowles presented a second petition to ‘his Highnesse the Lord Protector’ in March 1653/4 and then took it upon himself to produce farthings containing a quarter of an ounce of fine pewter. These entered circulation on 26 April 1654, but no authority had been given for their issue and they were prohibited by order of the Council of State through an announcement in the issue of Mercurius Publicus for 4-11 May 1654. Knowles is known to have been associated with the band of token manufacturers active during the decline of the Protectorate and the early years of Charles II’s reign and it has been demonstrated by Christopher Whittell that Knowles had a hand in producing the coinage for Lord Baltimore, governor of Maryland, in 1660

Dawson Collection, DNW Auction 156, 21 March 2019, lot 43. In 1631 Thomas Bushell became lessee of the Royal Mines in Wales. Over the next six years, he would send quantities of silver to the Tower mint in London for coining. These issues bear a large plume of the Prince of Wales's feathers over the shield on the reverse. Finding the financial burden of transferring this bullion to London irksome, Bushell applied to the King for permission to erect a mint in Wales. After some correspondence and argument this petition was granted on 30 July 1637, authorising the latter to establish a mint in Aberystwyth castle. Authority was given to him to coin halfcrowns, shillings, half-shillings, half-groats and pence, while groats, threepences and halfpence were added the following year. Irons for the coinage were prepared by Edward Green, the chief engraver. The mint remained active until September 1642 when it was transferred to Shrewsbury

Far exceeding the size and value of any previous denomination struck in the British Isles, the triple unite was as much a propaganda piece for the King as it was a means of meeting the enormous expenditure of the war. Despite his Catholic origins, the reverse proclaims his defence of the Protestant religion, English law and the liberty of Parliament. Furthermore, having been forced to leave the vast resources of London behind, it proved he still had the authority and financial wherewithal to produce a numismatic masterpiece, made by one of the country’s finest engravers, at his new war headquarters in Oxford
