1656年英国奥利弗-克伦威尔金币。"珍稀度五颗星。极罕见。金质,光边。由英国伦敦皇家造币厂于1738年铸造。“OLIVAR D G RP ANG SCO HIB & PRO”字样,奥利弗·克伦威尔面朝左方;背面为“PAX QUAERITUR BELLO”,意为:通过战争寻求和平。镜面底板,光泽诱人。
在克伦威尔死后,流亡的查尔斯王子返回英格兰,并继承了王位,被称为“查尔斯二世”。君主制度重新恢复,查尔斯二世谨慎小心,没有强制征税,也因此没有再次引发人民暴动。他赦免了众多支持共和的人,并在各党派之间斡旋以求平衡。他命铸造了众多克伦威尔钱币模具,并且分发给各低国地区,同时,很多低国地区的国家,如荷兰等也制造了类似的钱币模具。在1738年,后来成为皇家造币厂首席雕刻师的约翰·坦纳,重新设计了克伦威尔钱币模具。"

From a current population speculated to be in the single digits.<p>After the death of Cromwell the exiled Prince Charles returned to England and ascended the throne of his father as Charles II. The monarchy was restored, though the new king was careful to not exact too great a toll for the insurrection. Pardons were issued to a great many of the Republicans (though notably not to the men involved in the execution of his father) along with leaving intact any land transactions and confiscations except those pertaining to the Church or Crown.
The Low Countries purchased some of the Cromwell dies, as well as creating some of their own. Some of these later Dutch produced dies made their way back to London in 1738. Also at this time John Tanner, later the Chief Engraver for the Royal Mint, re-created Thomas Simons contemporary Cromwell dies. The Half Broad was never produced by Thomas Simon, so John Tanner created one. </p>,NGC PROOF-65 CAMEO...From the Michael Druck Collection.
