£2,250

Crown, 1658/7, in pewter, laureate bust left, rev. crowned shield, edge plain, 28.52g/440.4gr/6h (Lessen, BNJ 1966, p.168, E14, this coin; L & S 1b; ESC 242 [–]; cf. S 3226).  

A most intriguing and fascinating piece certainly worthy of further research. Listed in Marvin Lessens BNJ article from 1966 on the coinage of Oliver Cromwell (E14). Assumed a contemporary cast, much as struck and extremely rare.
