Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Charles I (Tower) ND (1634-1641) coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in England. Charles I was facing opposition from Parliament and the coinage was used as a tool for political propaganda. The coin features an image of the king on horseback, symbolizing his power and authority, but also sparked controversy among those who saw it as a symbol of the king's tyranny. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the political and social tensions of 17th century England.
