Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49, Charles I (1625-49), Gold crown, Group B/C mule, mintmark plume, rose.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Charles I (Tower mint; 3rd bust, mule) ND (1630-1632) coin is that it is a rare example of a "mule" coin, meaning that it features a mismatched obverse and reverse die, resulting in a unique combination of design elements not intended by the mint. This particular coin features the third bust of Charles I on the obverse and a crowned coat of arms on the reverse, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
