| Reverse description | Faithful reproduction of Thomas Simon's celebrated 1663 Petition Crown design, depicting the laureate and draped bust of King Charles II facing right in high sculptural relief. The effigy presents the monarch wearing a laurel wreath and classical drapery, rendered with exceptional baroque detail in the flowing hair and costume. The legend CAROLUS II · DEI · GRA arcs around the upper field, flanking the bust to either side, with Simon's signature engraved in script along the lower exergual border. A fine toothed or beaded inner border frames the design, referencing the original seventeenth-century prototype. The deeply mirrored proof fields accentuate the extraordinary sculptural quality of the historical design. |
