 | Charles II - 1660 - 1685
All the coins minted in the early hammered period were undated. Coins from the early issues are rare but later examples are more common. The milled sixpence was first struck in 1674 and had a relatively short span of eleven years. Coins exist in all grades and are very desireable thus prices tend to be high.
During the reign of Charles II the great plague killed 25% of the population (1665), the fire of London began (1666), Milton published 'Paradise Lost' (1667), Bunyan began writing 'The Pilgrim's Progress' (1675).
