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 1643 to mid 1644. Issues are identified by a "W" mintmark (sometimes with a lion or castle) and crude late-war production. Original production is estimated at 800-1,500 coins with about 10-15 surviving. Issues include Halfcrowns, Shillings, and possibly Sixpences.
