English Hammered Coins
and the
Coinage of Napoleon Bonaparte
Specializing in the coins of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I

A hammered issue by Charles I's mint master Nicholas Briot and quite a pleasant example as well.

The obverse features a nice portrait of the king with nice face and beard detail. Slight doubling of Charles' chin

The reverse sports strong shield details. Probably has a little bit of silver shaving or clipping typical of the period.

Add this pleasing example of the harder to find Charles I sixpences to your collection today!
