Charles I "Newark Besieged" 1/2 Crown 1646 AU55 NGC, KM371, S-3140A. 15.44gm. An immensely popular obsidional issue that effectively marked the end of Charles I's resistance in the English Civil War, resulting in his capture and eventual execution by Parliamentarian forces. The offering demonstrates a crisp strike, with surfaces overlaid in a soft, ivory patina that carries striking elements of lilac and electric blue iridescence. Lightly handled and superbly eye appealing-- a true prize for the historically minded collector.
Ex. William Oldknow Collection
