Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1625 Charles I Gold Crown is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in England. Charles I had recently ascended to the throne and was facing opposition from Parliament, which would eventually lead to the English Civil War. Despite this, the coin still bears the iconic image of the king, showcasing the power and authority of the monarchy during this time period.
