Charles I halfpenny

David Pratley described this small (about 13mm in diameter) hammered silver coin as a Charles I halfpenny with legends. It is a coin of Charles I but it’s a penny rather than a halfpenny.

There is a rose on both sides and the legend on the obverse reads C D G ROSA SINE SPINA. On the reverse is a legend reading IVS THRONVM FIRMAT. The mint mark does not show up but this penny has no inner circles so it belongs to Group A and is listed in the Standard Catalogue as number 2838.

Valuation

The reverse has been struck off centre, it is discoloured and would grade only about Fine. In its present condition my price range would be £15-18.
