Aanvullende informatie

Carisbrooke Castle gained its most historically charged moment in 1647–48, when Charles I was held there under Parliamentary guard before his transfer to London and subsequent execution. The Isle of Wight Council issued this ECU-denomination piece in 1996 during the final years of the European Currency Unit's existence as an accounting currency — the ECU was superseded by the euro in 1999, making the entire run of ECU-denominated British local issues a closed series with no successor strikes.
