Regular price £80.00

A historically significant Commonwealth coin from 1649, during the English Civil War period under Oliver Cromwell's rule. This twopence piece represents a pivotal era in British numismatic history, issued when the monarchy was temporarily abolished.

The Commonwealth period (1649–1660) produced distinctive coins featuring the heraldic shield of England, Scotland, and Ireland without royal portraiture. This rare denomination offers collectors an authentic window into 17th-century craftsmanship and political change.

Ideal for serious numismatists and history enthusiasts seeking original examples from this transformative period in British history.
