Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), struck at the Tower mint, London under the King (1625-42), Group D, fourth bust, type 3.1.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "pellet-in-ring" mintmark, which was used specifically for coins minted at the Tower of London during the reign of Charles I. This mintmark can be found on the reverse side of the coin, near the bottom. It is a small circle containing a central pellet, surrounded by a larger ring. This feature was used to indicate the coin's place of origin and to help prevent counterfeiting.
