The 1662 Charles II Crown is recognised as the first milled crown issued during Charles II’s reign. The early type has the king’s first bust and a rose below the bust.
Identification
Check the date, portrait, rose detail, legends and edge. Early milled crowns can have important varieties, and authenticity should be checked before a high-value purchase.
Value
There is no standard price for every 1662 crown. Grade, variety, surface quality and provenance matter. Compare recent completed sales from reputable auction or dealer records, not only asking prices.
