Owner Comments:
During the interregum Commonwealth period when Oliver Cromwell was governing as Lord Protector, coins were again produced using the hammered method. The result is a wide variation in quality of the strikes and irregularity of the flans. This example shows small flan splits at 5 & 11 o'clock, annealing marks in the centre of the reverse shield and evidence of double striking - all common traits for coins of this era.
