Description: | An incomplete and extremely worn rose farthing of Charles I (1625-1649 AD). This coin seems to be a mule between North Rose Types 1 and 2 in that it is most similar to Type 1, but has a crescent for an initial mark on both sides as in Type 2. The obverse depicts a double arched crown with two sceptres in saltire through it; the legend reads CAROLUS D G MAG BRI. The reverse depicts a single rose (as in Type 2) surmounted by a double arched crown; the legend reads: FRAN ET HIB REX. Cf. North 1991 Vol II, p165, Nos. 2290(d) and 2291.
