Description: | An extremely worn struck Post Medieval silver Shilling of Charles I (1625-49 AD). Tower mint, probably under Parliament, 1642-8. In addition to severe wear on the surface of the coin, it has torn on the outer edges in multiple places and has been rippled, probably due to soil compression. It is possible to see traces of the crowned bust facing left on the obverse, with XII behind head right. The obverse legend is unfortunately illegible save for the last part: [...] [F]RA.EI HIB REX. The reverse depicts a square-top shield with long cross moline with large ends. The legend is likewise mostly illegible: [CHRISTO] [A]VSPI[CE] [REGNO]. Insufficient detail of the crowned bust and reverse survives to fully identify this coin. However, it is likely that the coin belongs to Groups F or G of North's classification types: cf. North 1991, Vol II, Groups F and G, Nos. 2231-2234; also Spink 2001, p263, No. 2845.
