Charles I (1625-1649), Bristol mint, Halfcrown, 1643, mm. acorn on obv., Br on rev., horseman with flat crown, large Oxford plume behind, no ground line, three Bristol plumes above Declaration, date below, 13.71g/6h (Bull 637/10c (D13-1a), this coin; Morr. C-10; cf. SCBI Brooker 974; N 2488; S 3006). Very fine, dark tone, rare £600-£800 --- Provenance: Christie’s Auction, 24 February 1988, lot 85; B.J. Dawson Collection, DNW Auction 156, 21 March 2019, lot 65. Bristol was taken by the Royalists under Prince Rupert on 27 july 1643, and on 3 August Charles I made his entry into the city. Bristol was of great importance, as it gave the King a stronghold in the west and access to the Bristol Channel. A garrison was assigned to it and it became, after Oxford, the second capital, and remained so until it was surrendered to the troops of the Commonwealth under Sir Thomas Fairfax on 11 September 1645. Pay was required for the troops, and the expenses of the civil administration had to be met, so money had to be provided. It was therefore decided to establish a mint, which was set up in Bristol castle under the expert mintmaster, Thomas Bushell. It was actually an advantage for Bushell to have a branch at Bristol, as he could bring silver direct from Aberystwyth by sea
Charles I (1625-1649), Hereford mint, Halfcrown, 1645, King on horseback left, rev. oval shield within Garter, supported by lion and unicorn, crown and small crowned c r above, date below, 13.89g/1h (Bull 683/62; N 2359; S 2915).

Ferguson Collection, SCMB September 1960 (916); H.H. Snellenburg Jr Collection; T.W.J.D. Dupree Collection; J.R. Hulett Collection, Part XVIII, DNW Auction 175, 6 May 2020, lot 72 [from S. Mitchell May 1991]. The attribution to Hereford is not certain. The reverse type of this coin is unique among the silver issues of Charles I, showing as it does the gartered arms with lion and unicorn supporters, a design normally reserved for gold coinage
Charles I (1625-1649), Dovey Furnace mint, Halfcrown, mm. crown, tall horseman left, plume in field, no ground line, oval garnished shield, large plume above, 14.95g/12h (Bull 487/29 (4-7); Morr.

Wales Coins 1973]. Previously attributed to Coombe Martin by Morrieson, these coins are now thought to have been struck at a temporary mint at the silver mills near the river Dyfi north of Aberstwyth. The style of horseman and portrait suggest they were made c. 1648, since they closely resemble the Tower coins bearing the Parliamentary mint-mark sceptre

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
