Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Provincial Issues & Coinages of the English Civil War (1642-49), struck at the Oxford mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1642 Charles I Oxford Unite coin is that it was minted during the English Civil War, when the royalist stronghold of Oxford was under siege by the parliamentarian forces. Despite the turmoil, the coin still bears the image of King Charles I, signifying the continued loyalty of the city to the monarch.
