Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Civil War issue struck at the Oxford mint. North#2383Interesting 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 controlled by the royalist forces of King Charles I, and it features a scarf on the king's portrait, which was a symbol of his royal status. Despite the turmoil of the war, the coin was still made with a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, as evidenced by its intricate design and the use of gold (.9167) in its production.
