Comment
Sp#2817 was struck under the King, Sp#2818 under Parliament. They are differentiated by the mintmarks.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence coin featuring Charles I (6th bust; group F) is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in England. The coin was produced between 1639 and 1645, a period marked by political and religious tensions that ultimately led to the English Civil War. Despite the upheaval, the coin remained a widely used denomination and was an important part of everyday commerce.
