Charles I 1646 Newark Ninepence

Charles I (1625-49), silver Newark siege Ninepence, 1646, Royal crown, C to left, R to right, denomination below in Roman numerals, beaded border both sides, rev. three line inscription and date, OBS: / NEWARK / 1646, weight 4.56g (Brooker 1224; N.2640; S.3142). Struck on a small flan, though of good weight, toned, a bold very fine.

As the new year at that time did not commence till the 25th March, the 1646 dated coins could really only have been issued from the 25th March till the 6th May maximum when Newark surrendered. Though issue of 1646 coins was probably for a slightly shorter time than this in reality, perhaps only for 40 days or less, a very short-lived final siege issue.

Provenance:

Ex Clarendon Collection, part 2, Bonhams, 17th October 2006, lot 1493.
