Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1645-1646 Charles I Silver Crown is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in England. The coin was produced under the authority of Parliament, which had taken control of the mint from the king during the English Civil War. This coin is a rare example of a coin minted during a time of political upheaval, and its production was likely a symbol of the power struggle between the monarchy and Parliament.
