Description

Charles II (1660-85), Crown, 1668 VICESIMO edge, second laureate and draped bust right, legend surrounds CAROLVS II DEI GRATIA. Rev, crowned shields cruciform with garter star at centre, interlinked Cs in angles, date flanking top crown, legend commences MAG BR FRA ET HIB REX (S.3357; ESC.36).

Some surface marks and nicks in line with the grade, with the customary weakness in the hair. Good fine, reverse very fine other than the slight weakness to the garter star, free from any edge knocks, some excess flan to the left of CAROLVS in the strike, perhaps via the collars shifting.
