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.
