Towards the end of the English Civil war Charles 1st was based in Oxford, the home town of the Oxford Mint where this splendid coin was originally minted. He was eventually defeated by Parliamentarian New Model Army and fled north from his base in Oxford where he later surrendered. He was later imprisoned on the Isle Of White, tried for High Treason and faced the hang mans noose.

These coins are steeped in British History. Historical representation of some of the worlds most beautiful coins ever minted.These coins are minted in the modern day with no silver content. They will have the word copy on them which is barley visible unless looked at under a loop.
