1636-1638 Hammered Shilling of Charles I
Featured here is a shilling of Charles I, who famously lost his head over a disagreement with Parliament. This shilling was minted at the Tower of London under the King between 1636 and 1638, and would have circulated in England at the time of the Civil War. The coinage of Charles I is one of the most varied of that of any monarch, save that of our present Queen Elizabeth II, in part due to the chaos caused by the Civil War and the neccessity for both sides to mint coins in field mints all around the country and in cities under siege by either Royalist or Parliamentarian forces.
