Aberystwith 30 luglio 1637 Mint-master [EN] Il Forrer (1902-30, I, p. 316) riporta: On the 30th of July 1637, a mint was established in the castle of Aberystwith, in the county of Cardigan and principality of Wales, for the purpose of refining and coining the silver drawn from the mines in that principality, the coins to be marked on both sides with the feathers, for a clear difference from other monies. The indenture with Mr. Bushell, master and worker of the Mint, bore the same date, and authorized him to coin half-crowns, shillings, half-shillings, two penny pieces, and pennies, of the same value as those coined in the Tower of London. And by a commission dated on the 22nd of October, he was empowered to add groats, three penny pieces, and half-pennies" (Ruding, Vol. I, 391). Fonte: FORRER 1902-30 I, p. 316 Aberystwith 1646 c.

Folkes's Table of English Silver Coins has an interesting note on p. 85: " Mr. Bushell having obtained a grant from the king to coin silver, clothed the king's army at Oxford, and brought the said mint to serve the king's present occasion in his garrison there, when his mint in the Tower was denied him. The mint-mark upon some of the coins struck in this mint is the letter B, which is conjectured to refer to this person.
