| Beschrijving keerzijde | The quartered royal arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland displayed on an oval shield, richly garnished with elaborate scrollwork mantling. A crowned lion passant gardant acts as a crest above the helm surmounting the shield. The quarters show: first and fourth, three lions passant gardant for England; second, a lion rampant within a double tressure for Scotland; third, three fleurs-de-lis for France; and an Irish harp in the fourth quarter. The whole is enclosed within an inner beaded border, with the Latin legend in the outer margin. An eye mintmark is visible at the top of the field above the shield. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1643 the Tower of London had fallen under Parliamentary control, yet the mint continued striking coins in Charles I's name — Parliament needed a functioning currency more than it needed a symbolic break from royal iconography. This pragmatic arrangement lasted until the king's trial became unavoidable.
Sp.2761 is distinguished from Royalist issues of the same period primarily by mint mark sequence. The Tower mint used a continuous series of dated marks through these years, giving specialists a narrower dating tool than the broad 1643–1646 span suggests.
