Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1643 Charles I ½ Crown coin is that it was minted during the English Civil War, when the royalist stronghold of Oxford was under siege by the parliamentarian forces. Despite the turmoil, the coin still bears the image of King Charles I, reflecting the continued loyalty of the city to the monarch.
