As a cornerstone of Stuart coinage, this Charles I Shilling showcases the transition in royal portraiture known as the "Fourth Bust." Produced at the historic Tower Mint in London, this sterling silver coin bears the Roman numeral 'XII' behind the King's head, denoting its twelve-pence value. Unlike the provincial "obsidional" or siege money struck in garrisons like Newark or Carlisle, this Tower Mint issue represents the centralized royal authority before the Parliamentarian forces seized control of the London mint in 1642.
