Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting John Pym, a prominent Parliamentarian leader during the English Civil War. The design is the work of sculptor and engraver, John Mills, and it shows Pym standing in front of a large oak tree, symbolizing his role in the Restoration of the monarchy after the execution of Charles I. The coin's design is particularly noteworthy because it highlights the complex historical events that took place during the Revolution and Restoration periods in Britain, and serves as a reminder of the significant impact that John Pym had on the country's political landscape.
