Wales as it's St David's Day.
The Welsh Plume (the three ostrich feathers) appeared on the Charles I Aberystwyth Groat as a direct mark of the provenance of the silver, which was mined from the Welsh hills of Cardiganshire. In 1637, Charles I authorised Thomas Bushell, the operator of these mines, to establish a local mint within Aberystwyth Castle to save the cost and risk of transporting silver bullion to London. The presence of the plumes served as a proud "hallmark" of Welsh mineral wealth, distinguishing these coins from those struck at the Tower of London.
The silver was mined locally in the Cwmsymlog and Darren.
Cwmsymlog: This translates as "Valley of the Wild Leeks" (from the Welsh Cwm, meaning valley, and Symlog, an archaic term for wild leeks or ramsons).Darren: This translates simply as "The Hillside" or "The Rocky Slope"
