The 1663 Half-Crown - Charles II First Bust

Milled Silver Half-Crown of Charles II, dated 1663 and minted at the London (Tower) Mint. First Bust. Diameter 32mm and weighs 14.8g. SCBC: 3361.

There are a few variants of this, usually overstrikes, and you can see on this one in the V over S in Carolvs. You can also find A/T on some coins. Although these are rare engraver errors they don't add much to the price.

The Obverse is a laureate and draped bust of King Charles II (first bust) facing right. Legend is "CAROLVS · II · DEI · GRATIA" and you can see the V/S error.

Regnal year is on edge in Roman numberals, "XV".

The Reverse is a crowned cruciform coat-of-arms with a Garter star in the centre. Interlocking Cs in angles. Legend is "· MAG · BR · FRA · ET · HIB · REX · 16 63".

This coin graded as VF.
