Watch List notes:

Charles I (1625?49), Halfcrown, Worcester mint (1644?45), initial mark leopard's head [1643?44] on obverse only, crowned armoured figure of thin king on horseback with upright sword, legend reads CAROLVS DG MAG BRIT FRAN ET HIB REX. Rev, reverse crowned oval, garnished shield, reads CHRISTO * AVSPICE * REGNO, stars in legend, 13.06g (S.3106; N.2597; Brooker 1156A; Allen F?28). Toned with a pleasing mint bloom around the periphery, horseman exceptional and the inner details and lines of horse crisp, legend coherent, edge flan striking flaws, leopard initial mark definitive. Rev, some annealing metal flaws, quartered coat of arms impressive, stars in legend clear. Good extremely fine for what in more cases than others is a weakly struck crude type. Very rare.
