CIS treats the standard 1681 Crown as the normal circulation variety for the date. With no recorded mintage, the coin is assessed through availability, realised market behaviour, grade and demand rather than unsupported rarity claims.

The 1681 Crown belongs to the later milled silver coinage of Charles II. It uses the fourth laureate and draped bust with the crowned cruciform shields reverse, part of the regular silver Crown series struck for circulation in the Restoration period.

Description

The 1681 Crown Standard is a standard-circulation Charles II silver crown from the Fourth Bust period. CIS treats it as the normal 1681 Crown identity, with sterling 0.925 silver, 30.1g weight, 38.6mm diameter and a lettered edge.
