Charles I (1625-1649), Shilling, Bridgenorth upon Severn? mint, late declaration issues, 1646, mintmark plume on obverse, inner linear beaded circles both sides, crowned bust left, plumelet in front, mark of value behind, legend surrounds CAROLVS DG MAG BR FR ET HIB REX. Rev, plume and two plumelets, scroll above declaration, reads REL : PRO: LEG: ANG: LIB: PAR: date in exergue 1646, outer legend reads EXVRGAT DEVS DISSIPENTVR INIMICI, 5.69g (S.3039; N.2520; Brooker 1130).

A fully centred strike on a broad and fully circular flan, not suffering from any of the usual edge flan flaws normally encountered for this type and others closely related in the series. Maroon grey old cabinet tone, legends legible both sides. Portrait well struck with only the slightest of flat points. Reverse, central declaration in full script no weakness in the letter puncheons, some wear on the plumes. Very fine, has been pierced and plugged underneath obverse plume, rare.
