Charles II 1662 gold Broad

Charles II (1660-85), milled gold Broad of Twenty Shillings, 1662, laureate and draped bust left, tiny letter S below for engraver Thomas Simon, legend and toothed border surrounding, CAR. II. D. G. M. BR . FR. ET. HI. REX, rev. inverted die axis, crowned quartered shield of arms, date above crown, legend and toothed border surrounding, .FLORENT. CONCORDIA. REGNA., weight 8.96g (N.2780; S.3337A). Attractive copper red tone, a bold fine obverse, reverse much better a bold very fine, rare with only approximately 3,400 struck.

This interesting issue, a continuation of the design of the hammered issues into machine made milled coinage carries the initial of the engraver and designer Thomas Simon. Once thought to be a pattern it has since been proven that these were issued for currency but the gold used equated to no more than 3,400 pieces being made, it is surely one of the rarest milled coins of the reign.
