In operation from August or September 1643 to when the city fell on September 11, 1645. Issues typically have plumes and/or a Br mintmark and include Halfcrowns (most common), Shillings, Sixpences, Groats, Threepences, Halfgroats, Pennies, gold Unites and Half Unites/Double Crowns. Surviving examples are scarce to rare with Halfcrowns in the low hundreds (though only a handful of any given variety), down to pennies with at most a dozen known. Some of the dies originated in Oxford.
