and the six P is copper nickel. The half and one puffin coins are smaller in size. The 1929 & 1965 puffin is 29.29mm whilst the 2011 puffin is 27.3mm. The half puffins are nearly identical in size. The two P has two puffins flying, the four P a Lundy lighthouse with four puffins flying next to it, and the six P has Tresco Castle on the reverse with six puffins flying above it. The six P coin has a reeded edge and is crown size. The quality of these coins is quite high. Thomas Bushell and coins of the Civil War Another possible coinage connection exists through the activities of Thomas Bushell, friend of Francis Bacon, a strong supporter of the Royalist cause during the First English Civil War, and an expert on mining and coining. It has been argued that during his stay on Lundy he produced coinage for King Charles I, however definitive proof has not been found and it remains speculation. He held Lundy for the king and this was the last part of the king's lands to capitulate to the victorious Parliamentary forces after a siege lasting a year.
