Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Crown - Charles I (York) ND (1643-1644) coin is that it was minted during the English Civil War, which was a series of conflicts that took place between the supporters of King Charles I (the Royalists) and the supporters of Parliament (the Parliamentarians) from 1642 to 1651. The coin was minted in York, which was a stronghold of the Royalists, and it features an image of King Charles I on one side and a crowned coat of arms on the other. Despite the turmoil of the war, the coin was still made of silver, indicating the value and importance of the coinage during that time.
