Seller claims it's a Crown, but I can't tell whether it's a Crown (435) or a Half (428.5) based on Krause. The faintness of the last two digits of the date puts me off a little bit. The price is a tad high, but I like the coin. I have slightly doctored the images to bring out detail.

I'm hardly an expert in the series, but my reading of the illustrations in the Spink catalogue shows this to be a "second portrait" coin (S#3557, KM# 422.3). If that's right, then this is definitely a crown, because only crowns were issued with second portrait in 1671.

Ask the seller for dimensions (size and/or weight) if you're unsure.
