Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - Charles II (3rd hammered issue) ND (1660-1662) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in England. Charles II had recently been restored to the throne following the Commonwealth period, and the country was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War and the execution of Charles I. Despite these challenges, the coinage of this period is known for its high quality and artistry, and this particular coin is a prime example of that. Its intricate design and craftsmanship make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
