One Crown Coin of Great Britain
This coin was minted during the reign of Charles I, king of Great Britain from 1625-1649. Charles was born in Fife in 1600, the second son of James VI of Scotland (from 1603 also known as James I of England) and Anne of Denmark. He became heir to the throne on the death of his brother, Prince Henry, in 1612, and succeeded as the second Stuart king of Great Britain in 1625. Much controversy and disputes dogged Charles throughout his reign, eventually leading to civil wars in Scotland, Ireland and England. In 1649 Charles was charged with "high treason against the realm of England" and sentenced to death. Three days later he was beheaded. To many, Charles was seen as a martyr for his people and, to this day, wreaths of remembrance are laid by his supporters on the anniversary of his death at his statue, which faces down Whitehall to the site of his execution. After eleven years of Parliamentary rule (known as the Interregnum), Charles's son, Charles II, was proclaimed king in 1660.
The obverse of the coin depicts Charles I on horseback facing left, holding reins and a sword with a sash tied in a bow. The reverse depicts a garnished coat of arms, along with the words, "Christo" (Christ), "AvSpice" (Favorable), "Regno" (Kingdom). Call for availability and pricing.

|
These coins were minted during the reign of Catherine II (the Great), who was Empress of Russia from 1762 to 1796. Catherine was considered one of the most powerful women in the world during her reign and was renowned for her vast expansion of Russian territory and the great modernization of Russian society.
Born Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst-Dornburg in 1729, a German-speaking Prussian princess, Catherine assumed the throne upon the death of her husband, Tsar Peter III, of the Romanov family, under mysterious circumstances. She played a quiet but vital role in the American Revolution, which she predicted would succeed as early as 1776. “The colonies,” she wrote to a friend, “have told England goodbye forever.” Catherine detested the England of King George III, and rebuffed numerous requests by England to help put down the Revolution, either by sending troops or funds.
The obverse features a crowned monogram ET (Ekaterina Tsarina) in ornate lettering that divides the date, surrounded by a wreath. The reverse features the Romanov crest, a two-headed eagle facing in opposite directions, with crowns above. On the double eagle's breast, a coronation chain surrounds an inset of the legendary St. George slaying the dragon. Cyrillic script is underneath.
The 5 Kopek is the largest copper coin ever used in regular circulation. Weighing on average 51 grams, they are almost twice as heavy as U.S. silver dollars of the same period. One Kopek was equivalent to a U.S. penny, and the Kopek was unit of currency in Russia for 479 years before it was discontinued in 2013.
