BullionByPost are proud to offer numismatic collectors a growing range of rare collectable coins, including this milled Silver Threepence of Charles II.
On 29 May 1660, a weary British nation rejoiced as King Charles II was restored to the throne of England after the austere years of Oliver Cromwell. From the restoration onwards an undated threepence piece was minted without marks up until 1670 when the mints returned to the regular dating of coins using mintmarks. Charles II was a superb politician and enjoyed both his duties and amusements of his changed situation. He had two major disasters, in 1665 the Black Plague and in 1666 the Great Fire of London, that wiped out two thirds of the city. But the country grew richer and maritime grew stronger under his reign.
