The Gold Unite coin from the reign of King Charles I (1625-1649) is a significant piece of British numismatic history. Minted between 1631 and 1632, this coin was produced during a period of intense political and religious turmoil, which eventually led to the English Civil War. The Gold Unite was a high-value coin, reflecting the wealth and power of the monarchy at the time.
The obverse of this coin features a crowned, armored bust of King Charles I facing left. The inscription around the edge reads "CAROLVS D G MAG BRIT FRAN ET HIB REX," which translates to "Charles, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland".
The reverse side displays a crowned royal shield with the inscription "FLORENT CONCORDIA REGNA," meaning "Kingdoms flourish through harmony." This design element underscores the monarch's desire for unity and stability during a turbulent era.
