Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Oliver Cromwell 1658 Silver Crown coin is that it features a unique design element - a small silver plate attached to the coin's reverse side, which contains a portrait of Cromwell. This plate was added to the coin to cover up a die flaw that had occurred during the minting process, and it has since become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
