Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), Charles I (1625-49), Civil War issue struck at the Oxford mint.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 controlled by the Royalist forces, and it features a portrait of King Charles I, who was the leader of the Royalist side. Despite the turmoil of the war, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the skill of the mint's engravers and the value placed on currency during this time period.
