Oliver Cromwell is one of the most legendary names in not just Great Britain’s history, but throughout the entire world.
In a 2002 BBC poll he was selected as one of the top 10 greatest Britons of all time, but his story is not without controversy.
Many historians have considered him a regicidal dictator, while others consider him a hero of liberty. Indeed, they were complicated times throughout the realm in the 17th century.
Cromwell was among the signatories of King Charles I death warrant in 1649, and subsequently dominated the short-lived Commonwealth of England as a member of the Rump Parliament from 1649 – 1653.
In April of 1653 Cromwell would remove the Rump Parliament by force and was ultimately invited by his fellow leaders to become Lord Protector of Great Britain.
Cromwell would pass away naturally in 1658, but not before attempting to beautify the country’s coinage.
The Cromwell Gold 50 Shilling is one of the most important coins not only in British numismatics, but in the entire world. It is the first Proof gold coin ever known to be struck throughout the World, and only 2 are known to exist outside of Museums today! This was a substantial sum of money for the era and would have only been givcn to important members of English society at the time.
This coin isn’t just rare, it’s downright impossible. It’s the finest of only two we’ve ever seen or handled. Coupled with the fantastic rarity of this issue and popularity of collecting anything Oliver Cromwell you have a phenomenal opportunity to acquire it while it lasts.
Many great British rarities have been eclipsing seven-figure sums in recent years without the rarity or importance of this phenomenal coin. When you compare it with American rarities such as the 1804 Dollar or the 1913 Nickel of which more examples are known, the choice becomes easy. As money continues flowing in from all over the world into coins their status will only continue to grow in prestige and value.
