Description: | SilverCoin. Hammered Shilling of Charles I (1625-1649), possibly issue of 1636-1638 (this depends on identification of mint mark); the reverse more closely resembles production of Tower mint for Parliament, 1642-1648, perhaps 1645 if alternative mintmark is sustained.Obverse description: Crowned bust with tall crown and wavy hair, V-necked drapery, left; within beaded circle, XII behind bust. Execution, especially lettering, is poor.Obverse inscription: CAROLVS:D.G.MA[-]R:[--]HI:B R?EXReverse description: Shield with Arms of England, Scotland and Ireland, short cross (arms end within beaded border) with bifid ends to arms. Mintmark is worn, possibly tun (123), for 1636-1638, though an eye (81) is equally possible, and would indicate a Parliament issue of 1645.Reverse inscription: CHRISTO.AVSPICE.REGNODiameter: 28.2mm, Weight: 3.54gms, die axis: 12.
