Description
Charles I (1625-49), Unite, group A, initial mark lis (1625), high crowned first bust left in coronation robes, mark of value behind, legend surrounds CAROLVS DG MAG BR FR ET HI REX. Rev, crowned and ornately garnished square topped shield of arms, legend reads FLORENT CONCORDIA REGNA, mintmark before legend, 9.12 (N.2146; S.2685; Schneider-).
Struck on a slightly irregular flan, portrait and especially bust struck with fine detail, some flatness in legends, reverse shield pleasing. A scarcer bust to encounter from the series and arguable the group A being the most impressive and arresting of the range. Good very fine, some parts better.
