    Rare Charles I 1634-1635 (1625-1649) Large Silver 12 Pence Shilling: Bell denotes mint date.
    Tower Mint London
    Beautiful Coin! Part of the prolific coinage of Charles I, many coin collectors favorites of all Great Britain coinage!
    Portraits and varieties exist from different mints. Coins have hallmarks associated with dates and mints of production.
    Please see my other early coinage listings. I associate the time frames of 1492 forward as Colonial USA as this was the coinage used by our ancestors at that time. These are the coins they would have in their pockets as the helped forge these new Colonies!!!
    This represents a part of Colonial Coinage used here in America, due to the shortage of copper and but also because this was a fundamental building block of America. Like William and Mary College here in Virginia, and many other States (Like Georgia, Charlestown W.Va, Charlotte, N.C. etc. etc.) and cities, towns and counties across the United States of America we owe much of these early days to the Monarchy and the leaders of Great Britain that they were names for and their history as we share much of it in our roots and are reminded daily of this connection.
    Scarcity of early coinage in America where denominations were used primarily from Great Britain but other colonizing nations as well, the value was in the material either copper or silver, so almost any country's currency would pass hands.
