Description: | Charles I silver halfgroat, 1625-. The obverse is very worn but the crowned bust of the king facing left can just be made out, as can ?II? behind the head. It reads [CAROLVS D G] M B F ET H R[EX]. The bust is contained within a beaded circle. The reverse shows an oval garnished royal shield and reads [IVSTITIA THRO]NVM FIRMAT. The mint mark is worn into a plain disc ? perhaps a worn rose or a cannonball? The shield is contained in a beaded circle but this is badly executed with lines not meeting and overlapping. Has this coin been overstruck? Diameter 16.2mm, thickness c.0.5mm, weight 0.73g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1625
