Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Civil war provincial issues, Aberystwyth mint (1638-42).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pence - Charles I (Provincial issues; Aberystwyth) ND (1638-1642) coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in England. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles I, who was facing opposition from Parliament and the Scottish Covenanters. This led to the English Civil War, which lasted from 1642 to 1651 and ultimately resulted in the execution of Charles I. Despite this tumultuous period, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the English people.
