For CIS, this is the more regular 1680 bust identity. It can be easier to recognise than the overdate, but condition, eye appeal and confirmed bust attribution still drive real market value.
The Fourth Bust shows the later Charles II portrait style used into the early 1680s. It is identified by the older-looking bust and a more pointed nose compared with the Third Bust.
Description
The 1680 Crown Fourth Bust is a standard-circulation Charles II silver crown from the transition into the later portrait type. CIS separates it from the Third Bust because the portrait type changes the collector identity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I recognise the 1680 Crown Fourth Bust?
Check the obverse portrait. The Fourth Bust looks older, sharper and more pointed at the nose than the Third Bust. It should not show the 1680/79 overdate feature in the final date digit.
