Notes: Charles II took the throne in 1660, ending the Commonwealth period of England which had begun in 1649 with the overthrow and beheading of his father, Charles I, during the English Civil War. After that interregnum of 11 years, Charles' rise to the throne became known as the Restoration.
Comments: I found the contrasting grey toning on this coin very appealing and handsome, despite its relatively modest grade. I bought this one for its eye appeal, so the minor mint error was just an added bonus.
