Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1644 Charles I Bristol ½ Crown coin is that it was minted during the English Civil War, when the royalist stronghold of Bristol was under siege by parliamentarian forces. Despite the turmoil, the coin still bears the image of King Charles I, reflecting the divided loyalties of the time.
