<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 4123637, member: 42034&quot;]Very nice &amp; appropriate Cromwell crown jgenn.&nbsp;&nbsp; I really like the coins and history theme and think it&#039;s a major reason why many &quot;purist collectors&quot; like collecting coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Consequently I bought the domain&nbsp; &quot;coins and history . com&quot; for $15 and have tried to organize histories about some of the coin areas that I collect.&nbsp;&nbsp; One such area is the English Civil war in which I&#039;ve also a Cromwell coin.&nbsp; Unfortunately it&#039;s just a half crown {bought from Karl Stephens of CA} as well as my coin from the Royalist sides: an Oxford silver pound of Charles I, 1642.</p><p><br /></p><p>On your crown many said that the die-break through Cromwell&#039;s neck was a bad omen and such things presaged death.&nbsp; Sure enough, after the die broke (?), he died in 1658.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Rather that post the pix here I&#039;ll just post the link to my England page from coins and history.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://coinsandhistory.com/countries/Europe_England/England.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinsandhistory.com/countries/Europe_England/England.html" rel="nofollow">https://coinsandhistory.com/countries/Europe_England/England.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
