Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Broad - Charles II (Pattern) 1662 from England is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. The Restoration of the monarchy had taken place just two years prior, in 1660, and Charles II was determined to restore the coinage to its pre-Civil War state. This coin was part of a series of pattern coins minted in 1662, which were intended to replace the older hammered coins that had been in use since the reign of Elizabeth I. The Pattern 1 Broad was never actually circulated, but it is an important piece of numismatic history, showcasing the evolution of coinage during a pivotal moment in English history.
