| Reverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King Charles II facing right, adapted from the original 17th-century coinage portrait by John Roettier, rendered here in high relief with exceptional proof surface quality. The King is depicted with long, elaborately curled flowing hair adorned with a laurel wreath, in the classical Baroque style characteristic of Restoration-era British coinage. The surrounding legend CAROLVS · II · DEI · GRATIA arcs around the upper field, separated by pellet stops in the period manner. The inner border features a prominent toothed or scalloped inner rim, faithfully echoing the decorative elements of the original Roettier prototype. |
