Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Charles I (Tower mint; under Parliament) ND (1643-1646) coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in England. The coin was produced during the English Civil War, which was a series of conflicts that took place between the supporters of King Charles I (the Royalists) and the supporters of Parliament (the Parliamentarians) from 1642 to 1651. Despite the political and social upheaval of the time, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time.
