Whilst the other pages record all known coins of the earlier coinage, this page gives examples of the mint marks and types of the remaining coinage of the reign, being Thistle, Lis and Trefoil.

For this period, all obverses have colons in the legend, but the abbreviations vary, such that Britain, France and Ireland , can become, BRIT or BRI , FRAN, FRA or FR, and HIB or HI. 

The reverses all have the bird headed harp, and no colons in the legend.

On both obverse and reverse, pellets sometimes appear before or on both sides on the mint mark.

Unlike the third coinage mm Rose, these three mint marks, now have either the usual shield s2666 or a Welsh plume over shield s2667. The Welsh mining operations were carried out under Sir Hugh Myddleton who signed a 21 year agreement from 1617 taking on the lease of the Cardiganshire mines. He had five mines in operation at Talybont, Darren, Cwmerfyn, Goginan and Cwmsymlog. James I decreed that any silver sent to the Tower of London from these Welsh mines must be stamped with the feathers of the Prince of Wales.
