- Charles II hammered gold Unite ND (1660-62), S-3304, North-2754 (rare), XF45 NGC. 2nd Issue with mark of value "XX" (20 Shillings) behind the portrait, Crown mm. Obvious doubling of strike is seen on the king's face. This piece is somewhat lustrous with pleasing fields and bold legends; the reverse design is sharp in all details with much of the outer beaded border in evidence. Reddish gold toning adds to the eye-appeal. All in all, this is a desirable example of the short-lived, hammer-method coinage struck for only two years, after which the mill machinery began turning out a kind of English money seen before only in a few experiments. The very end of the hammered coinage era may be seen right on this very coin. Realized $9,400.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Cromwell Crown 1658/7, S-3226, MS63 NGC. Exceptional in many ways, this crown also exhibits original silvery gray toning with some dashes of greenish gold iridescence. The dappled toning is pleasing. Not rare per se?but quite scarce and very popular as the first milled crown. It was designed by England's finest engraver of all time, Thomas Simon -- an act which lost him all favor with Charles II when the royal Restoration occurred in 1660. It was also the first of the new milled, or machine-made, coinage other than a few earlier experiments. The hammer method returned briefly (1660-62) but the milled pieces of Cromwell were clearly superior in all aspects. Thus the time-honored means of making money for the British Isles became lost, and the minters had to learn new ways to ply their secretive trade. This is therefore one of the most historical of British crowns. Realized $12,925.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Cromwell Halfcrown 1658, S-3227A, AU58 NGC. An attractive example of this classic coin having a balanced strike on each side and pleasing fields. Old-time, well-set patina in various shades of gray is testament to the originality of the surfaces. The reverse legend translates from the Latin to mean "Peace is sought by war," while the obverse offers not a royal legend (REX) but in its place uses PRO for "Protector" of England, Scotland and Ireland. Only the halfcrown among the silver coinage of this reign includes "ET" after SCOT in this legend. Realized $4,112.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- Oliver Cromwell Shilling 1658, S-3228, North-2747, MS65 NGC. A superb example of this classic first milled shilling, designed by Thomas Simon. These coins were struck in limited numbers very near the end of the Commonwealth era, when Cromwell ruled like a king but refused to be so called. Most pieces were destroyed during the Restoration of the Monarchy beginning in 1660. Today, the average condition of this issue is Extremely Fine; well-worn and intentionally defaced pieces are not uncommon. Lustrous coins such as the presently offered specimen are seldom seen. This is a really beautiful shilling, perfectly struck from the splendid dies, with high rims, an exacting portrait, nearly flawless surfaces, and fully original, delightful light silvery blue toning. 'Tis a fair beauty, this! Realized $10,575.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
