Production dates, amounts, and estimated surviving examples are given for each mint. Estimates are based on an average 1–5% survival rate of coins of the period due to circulation, clipping, and melting so counts may vary from lists of known examples of specific issues.
In operation from late 1645 to May 6, 1646 when the town surrendered. Issues can read "OBS NEWARK(E)" (obsidium → "siege"). Original production is estimated at 5,000-10,000 coins with about 100-200 surviving. Issues include Halfcrowns, Shillings, Ninepences, and Sixpences.
