I used to collect English coins a long time ago, mostly hammered, but once at an ancient and medieval coin show I picked this up for some ridiculous amount like about £20:

English-Crown-1676

This is a large crown sized coin that then was worth 5 Shillings, a fair good amount of money in 1676. If it circulated in Scotland it would have been worth 60/- there.

Not a bad strike..

I've eyed that coin but has been too expensive in most shops, like 40 Pounds but it was in XF.

Nice crown! Even though it shows some wear, it is unusually choice in that it doesn't seem to have any distracting marks or rim bumps. (let me know if you ever get tired of it)

Very cool, Scottishmoney!

Just noticed that you're using a Ukrainian national symbol for your watermark - is there a story behind that?
