Watch List notes:

Charles II, hammered coinage (1660-1662), first issue, unite, mm. crown, laur. bust l., without mark of value, rev. crowned oval garnished shield, CR at sides, wt. 8.94gms. (S.3301; N.2753), very slight double striking on obverse, lustrous, about extremely fine for issue A pleasing example of this extremely rare first issue. Vastly underrated in the catalogue, research suggests that only one turns up in every ten of the more common second issue. This piece is in almost as good condition as the example that sold at Spink in 2010 for £20,400 including bp.

Estimate: £11,000-13,000
