| From the portrait, this plate appears to have been struck around 1619, although Charles's title as "Prince of Wales" is omitted from the legend. See Medallic Illustrations, volume I, page 224, No. 81 where this plate is rated as "Rare". These thin plates with no reverse are technically called shells. They were uniface because they were mainly used on the lids of boxes or on the covers of books. | ||
