Notes:Jun 9, 08 - Thank you to Brad Murphy from the AncientPeddler Group (ancientpeddler@yahoogroups.com) for assistance in attributing this coin

The attribution of this coin is my best guess so far. It is probably too worn to ever be certain. Additionally, it appears that this style may have been used by many rulers before and after Charles II.
