Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Provincial issues of the English Civil War (1642-49), Oxford mint (1642-46).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1642 Charles I Declaration Pound coin is that it was minted during the English Civil War, when the royalist forces were struggling to maintain control against the parliamentarian forces. Despite the turmoil, the coin still features a detailed portrait of Charles I on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other, showcasing the enduring power of the monarchy even in times of conflict.
