(112 Pounds copper US per 1 CWT) This yield by Waters' REF 1 numbers approximately 25,760 GTT's for the Croom's series.
Based on the Rarity Factor and estimated 25,000 coins manufactured relative to the Croom series I would say approximately 7,000+ No. 14's were minted to give someone a rough idea of the initial population.
