Briot's Crown 上市 Deposited
The name given to a variety of Crown executed about 1633 by Nicholas Briot, who had been appointed at the Tower mint by Charles I in 1628. This piece, though not of very spirited work- manship, is neat and well formed, and was struck by the independent apparatus which Briot owned. There is a half crown of the same type. Briot's coins can be distin- guished by the initial B.
