This variant is attractive because 1680 sits at the changeover between the Third and Fourth Bust crowns. CIS keeps the mintage as unknown and relies on market evidence, liquidity, demand and source confidence rather than guessing rarity.
The Third Bust belongs to the mature early milled silver period after the Restoration. Its portrait is broader than the later Fourth Bust, with a more direct transition from the earlier Charles II crown series.
Description
The 1680 Crown Third Bust is a standard-circulation Charles II silver crown and the last year of the Third Bust type. CIS treats it as a separate identity because the bust type is recognised by collectors and market references.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I recognise the 1680 Crown Third Bust?
Check the obverse portrait. The Third Bust is broader and less sharply aged than the Fourth Bust, with a hair tie that is usually straighter. If the date shows traces of a 9 under the 0, use the overdate variant instead.
