| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles I's Tower Mint operated under direct royal control from 1629 until 1642, when Parliament seized it at the outset of the Civil War. Group III halfcrowns fall within the period of Personal Rule — the eleven years during which Charles governed without Parliament — a fiscally strained era that saw the Crown resort to increasingly unpopular revenue measures including Ship Money. The mint itself was under the mastership of Sir Robert Harley during much of this period.
Spink 2773 is distinguished by the use of the mm. tun, anchor, triangle, and star marks across its run, allowing reasonably precise dating within the group.
