| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uncrowned draped bust of Charles I facing left, wearing a falling lace collar, rendered in high relief with fine detail characteristic of the period. The denomination numeral appears in the field behind the royal effigy. The legend, in Latin, encircles the bust and identifies the sovereign as King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland by the Grace of God. The mint mark appears at the commencement of the legend. The overall style reflects the refined engraving associated with early Caroline coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Unite was England's primary gold denomination under the early Stuarts, valued at twenty shillings. Pattern issues from Charles I's reign are notoriously difficult to attribute with precision — many were produced by Nicholas Briot, the French-trained engraver who joined the Royal Mint in 1633 and immediately began challenging the entrenched hammer-men with his screw press techniques. A 1630 date places this piece in the transitional window before Briot's machinery was formally adopted, when experimental strikings were circulating privately among court and treasury officials rather than the general population.
North 2656 is a rare reference point, with confirmed survivors numbering in the single digits across major collections.
