Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Oliver Cromwell 1658 Silver Crown coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in England. Cromwell, who was Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1653 until his death in 1658, implemented a number of reforms during his rule, including the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of a crown, symbolizing the enduring power and influence of the monarchy even during a time of political upheaval.
