Delightful Charles I Crown

Atlas Numismatics Selections: February 22, 2026 Item 6 Obverse 1086319 | GREAT BRITAIN. England.jpg

1086319 | GREAT BRITAIN. England. Charles I. (King, 1625-1649). (1633-38) ND-(portcullis) AR Crown. NGC MS63. Tower (London) mint. 29.92gm. King on horseback riding to left; wearing crown and holding sword upright Plumes surmount ornate quartered oval shield of arms. SCBC-2759.

Superb choice mint state with a lovely cabinet patina and an excellent provenance. One of the finest surviving examples of the type. In our opinion of significantly finer technical grade than the Geoffrey Cope example of SCBC-2758 (realized CHF 70,000 hammer or approximately $94,500 with the buyer's premium on 8 May 2024); that piece had a stronger strike but hairlined fields.
