Halve crown, noodmunt van Karel I, koning van Engeland te Ormond geslagen van het door de ingezetenen opgebrachte zilver 1643

This silver half-crown coin, struck in Ormond in 1643, features a crowned "R" on one side and the initials "C.R." on the other. The coin was minted during the English Civil War, when Charles I was fighting against Parliament. The coin is an example of the "necessity coinage" issued during the war, when the Royalists were short of money. These coins were often made from silver collected from the local population. The coin is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
