Description: | This is a hammered silver half groat of Charles I (1625-1649). The design is typical of type 3a1 with no inner circles and in this instance, a crown mintmark indicative of the Tower mint circa 1635-6. The obverse shows the bust facing left with the Roman numerals II in the field behind the bust. The reverse has the rounder shield.The coin is in a worn condition with the bust being wholly worn away, leaving only the legend and denomination intact. The reverse has faired better with most of the detail and legend intact. This pattern of wear, seems to be common of Charles I coins? The coin has been clipped.
