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. A-1; SCBI Brooker 788, same dies; N 2351; S 2908). Good fine or better, extremely rare £3,400-£4,000

Provenance: B.J. Dawson Collection, DNW Auction 156, 21 March 2019, lot 116 [from N. 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
