Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1644 Charles I Exeter Crown is that it was minted during the English Civil War, when the royalist stronghold of Exeter was under siege by parliamentarian forces. Despite the turmoil, the coin still bears the image of King Charles I, signifying the continued loyalty of the city to the crown.
