Coins and Historical Medals

Commonwealth (1649-1660), Halfcrown, 1656, mm. sun on obv. only, 14.76g/12h (ESC 49; N 2722; S 3215). Neatly struck and well-centred, a piece of fine workmanship, a little haymarked, otherwise very fine or better and toned £2,000-£2,400

Compared to the normal production run of Commonwealth silver coins, this is an unusually well-struck specimen on a neat round flan.
