Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Charles I (1st milled Briot issue) ND (1631-1632) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in England. Charles I, who ruled from 1625 to 1649, was facing growing tensions with Parliament and the coinage was one of the many issues that contributed to the English Civil War. The coin was minted using a new milled technique, which was introduced to prevent clipping and counterfeiting, and it features a portrait of Charles I on one side and a crowned coat of arms on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a popular collector's item and a testament to the rich history of English coinage.
