Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Nicholas Briot's coinage (1631-39), First milled issue (1631-32).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence coin - Charles I (1st milled Briot's issue) ND (1631-1632) from England is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in England. Charles I, who ruled from 1625 to 1649, faced many challenges during his reign, including the English Civil War, which began in 1642 and ultimately led to his execution in 1649. Despite these turbulent times, the coinage of England continued to be minted, with the 6 Pence coin being one of the most widely used denominations.
