Charles II (1660-1685)

Crown, 1664, second laureate and draped bust right, rev. crowned cruciform shields, interlinked C's in angles, eight strings to harp, edge XVI, reverse out of alignment, (S.3355, ESC.362). Some minor pitting, the obverse struck from a tidied up rusty die

Note:
A curious coin on two accounts. The reverse die axis is out of alignment by approximately 45 degrees and the obverse die is either unfinished, or has been corroded and improperly tidied up leaving the area behind the head
