ENGLISH - HOUSE OF STUART. CHARLES I   [1625-1649].   Silver  Halfcrown. S2869
 
£ 600
YORK MINT (1643-4). mm.lion. TYPE 7, horse's tail shows between legs, reverse with lion skin garniture; no C R or floral spray.

Interestingly, this coin has had EBOR crudely removed from below the horse. This is without doubt a contemporary action of some 'political'? motivation, as I have seen other examples - otherwise
VERY FINE
