NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18010 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 4:47 pm Hello wael14979 and Please could you advise the diameter of your coin and whether it has an edge inscription? This design was used on four different denominations during the reign of Charles II - sixpence, shilling, halfcrown and crown. It sounds as though you could have some very interesting coins!

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18010 Posts	Posted 05/26/2021 7:01 pm Thanks for the edge photo. Is it around the same size as a US large dollar coin? If so, definitely a crown. A halfcrown is a bit bigger than a US half-dollar. The edge inscription should read "Decus Et Tutamnen, Anno Regni" and then "Vicesimo Octavo", meaning "An Ornament and a Safeguard: 28th year of reign". (Charles II had only come to the throne in 1660, but the Mint dated the coins from the death of his father Charles I in 1649: England had been a republic under Oliver Cromwell during the intervening years!) There is a 1676 halfcrown on sale here on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1676-Eng...333881365204 We'd love to see your other coins, but please post just one coin per topic (unless it's a set of coins that obviously belong together!)
