Great Britain
Charles I (1625-1649) silver Crown 1645 VF30 NGC, Exeter mint, Castle mm, S-3062, N-2561. A very popular Crown type, struck in the midst of the turbulent 1640s, a time of civil war for England. Coinage during this conflict split into that created by the Parliamentarian rebels and those struck by supporters of the King, such as this piece. Exhibiting more soft striking than actual wear, this Crown retains near-complete legends with a good portrait of mounted Charles for the type, the planchet lightly toned a dove-gray with white gold highlights. Pleasing in all respects, a perfect representative example.
