This had originally intended to be a short note and die study of the shillings issued by the Welsh Copper company between 1723 and 1726. However, whilst most collectors and catalogues are aware of this short series, the background story, with just one notable and recent exception seems to have fallen through the gaps in the numismatic literature.
The note will begin with an historical overview of metal exploitation, especially Welsh copper and silver and their contributions to British coinage, followed by the Welsh Copper Company and finally the die study of the shillings struck at the Tower Mint struck from their silver.
