Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - Charles I (York) ND (1643-1644) coin is that it was minted during the English Civil War, which was a series of conflicts that took place between the supporters of King Charles I (the Royalists) and the supporters of Parliament (the Parliamentarians) from 1642 to 1651. The coin was minted in York, which was a stronghold of the Royalists, and it features an image of King Charles I on one side and a crown on the other. Despite the turmoil of the war, the coin remained in circulation and was used as a means of payment throughout England.
