Charles II 1660 - 1685

Until the reign of King Charles II, the coins were struck by hand. Then the Mint figured out how to make coins on machines or as they are known in the coin trade as Milled coins. They were made from 1662-1681. You have the King on one side dressed as a Roman Emperor and the other side has four crowned coats of arms with double ‘C’ in between them. At the time a Crown or Five Shillings was a lot of money and you would have had to be considered rich to own one. Dates will be of our choice, but all coins will come with the ‘new fangled’ lettered edge. Remember they are at least 340 years old and available in Fair and Very Good condition.
