Comment
Known in two other rare small-bust varieties and two rare large-bust varietiesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence Lord Baltimore ND (1659) coin from Maryland is that it was issued during a time when the colony was still under British rule, and it features an image of the Calvert family crest, which was the symbol of the colonial proprietors.
