| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped first bust of King Charles II facing right, with flowing curly hair beneath the laurel wreath, set within a beaded border. The effigy is rendered in high relief in a bold, naturalistic Baroque style characteristic of early Restoration coinage. The Latin legend arcs around the periphery of the field, divided to either side of the portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1662 milled coinage represented a definitive break from hammered production, and pattern pieces from this transition year were struck in multiple metals to test dies and gauge approval for the new machinery installed under Pierre Blondeau. A gold striking of a silver crown design was an explicit prestige demonstration — not intended for the counting house but for presentation to Charles II himself or senior court figures.
The weight places this firmly in the territory of a double or proof-weight trial, well above any circulating crown specification.
