Historic Charles II Silver Hammered Groat (1660-1662) Fantastic, highly collectible piece of British history: a silver hammered Groat (4 Pence) from the early reign of King Charles II. This specific piece is from the "Third Hammered Issue" (struck between 1660 and 1662). This beautiful 17th-century coin is an absolute treat! It features a wonderfully detailed crowned bust of the King facing left, with a very bold and clear Roman numeral "IIII" (indicating its 4-pence value) resting right behind his head. The coin boasts a gorgeous, original antique silver patina that highlights the intricate square-topped shield on the reverse. • Country: England • Ruler: King Charles II • Issue: Third Hammered Issue (1660-1662) • Denomination: Groat (4 Pence) • Composition: Silver See the pictures for a better impression
