Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Provincial issues of the English Civil War (1642-49), Oxford mint (1642-46).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Triple Unite coin is that it was minted during the English Civil War, which lasted from 1642 to 1651. The coin was produced at the Oxford Mint, which was established by King Charles I in 1642 as a way to finance his military campaigns. The coin's design features a crowned bust of Charles I on one side and a shield with the arms of England, Scotland, and Ireland on the other. Despite its historical significance, the Triple Unite coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors, with some examples selling for tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
