The 1683 Fourpence - Charles II (milled)Charles II Silver Fourpence, minted at the Royal Mint in 1683. Milled. SCBC: 3384. Diameter 19mm and weighs about 2g.
The later small currency silver coins of Charles II were made by the machines of the Roettier brothers, despite that this was not part of their original agreement.
The Fourpence has 4 interlocking C's on the reverse, the threepence 3 C's, twopence 2 C's and the penny only has one. Although they may be thought of as a Maundy set, all the coins were released into circulation. It is thought that at the Maundy ceremony Charles II only gave out pennies.
The Obverse, engraved by John Roettier, shows the laurel and draped bust of King Charles II. The legend around is "CAROLVS II DEI GRATIA" meaning "Charles II by the Grace of God".
The Reverse, also engraved by John Roettier, shows four interlocking C's at the centre ('C' for Charles). There are four C's as this is the fourpence. National emblems in quarters. Legend "MAG BR FRA ET HIB REX" which states that Charles II was King of Great Britain, France and Ireland. Date "1683" is split across top.Image credit: M J Hughes Coins
