Bristol Mint During the English Civil
War in 1643
D. N. Holt and R. Lyall
The City of Bristol was taken by the Royalist forces on 26th July
1643. The King had already established a Mint at his Fig.3
headquarters in Oxford in January 1642/3 under the joint Halfcrown
warden ship of Sir William Parkhurst and Thomas Bushell. reverse
In August/September 1643 Thomas Bushell was ordered to
establish a branch mint at Bristol. This is well documented in
various publications1 and outlining the history of the mint is not

Out of necessity, the first coins to be struck at Bristol were
halfcrowns and shillings. There has been debate about the Shillings

The Italian colony of Thurium, facing eastwards on the Gulf of
Tarentum2, was established between 446 and 443 BC3. It was
hard by the earlier Achaean settlement of Sybaris4, destroyed by
Croton first in 5105 and, following rebuilding in 453, again in
4486. It appears that the name Sybaris was resuscitated in 446,
but within three years the new settlers of diverse origin evicted
the Sybarites amongst them for trying to dominate the city’s
affairs, and changed the name to Thurium7.
The debt owed to Athens for championing the second
reincarnation of Sybaris/Thurium is reflected in the obverse of its
coins, portraying the head of Athena8. Initially, her crested
helmet was decorated with an olive wreath9, a design widely
admired and imitated for its elegant simplicity10, but from the
Fig.6 fourth century the decoration became more intricate, usually

work was generally quite good even if some of the flans were
rather irregular.
The reverse dies were almost certainly crude copies of the
Oxford dies taken to Bristol by Bushell. The errors and botched
attempts smack of work produced at speed by inexperienced mint
workers or smiths to satisfy the needs of coinage to pay the
Royalist army.
