Comment
Struck at the Tower Mint, LondonInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Unite - Charles I (group A; 1st bust) ND (1625) from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Gold (.917) weighing 9 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in England. Charles I, who ruled from 1625 to 1649, was a controversial figure who faced opposition from Parliament and ultimately lost his head in the English Civil War. Despite this turmoil, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its gold content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
