I was noticing I have too many shillings in my Prime Number set, so I decided I should use a Crown for 1663. Either that or this coin was telling me I had too many shillings in my Prime Number set.

I like the look
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Very nice example. 👍

Looks is if it was graded by NGC... the reverse may hold the grade back- likely 15 on a bad day and 20 to 25 on a good. These are hard to find in high grades

NGC graded it 12. PCGS will get their shot fairly soon.

Well... I suppose it is a 12 on a bad day...

It’s odd. On the shillings, Charles II looks more like the playboy he was. On this larger coin, he looks like an old man.
