Cette monnaie est parfaitement centrée sur un flan régulier avec tout le listel visible. Le portrait de Cromwell est très expressif. Il faut noter une cassure de coin sur le drapé du buste, qui a été retravaillée pour lisser les irrégularités. Une griffe est visible dans le champ au revers. La monnaie est recouverte d’une agréable patine grise

Historical background
GREAT-BRITAIN - OLIVER CROMWELL
(1653-1658)
Oliver Cromwell (1591-1658) was an English politician and soldier, general of the troops of the "New Model Army", which was victorious over the royalists during the first English revolution. After the execution of King Charles I in 1649, Cromwell established a republican Commonwealth in England in which he held the leading role as Lord Protector. He reigned in this capacity from 1653 until his death in 1658, most likely as a result of malaria..
