On May 8, a Petition crown<\/em> of Charles II sold for $1 million, making it the most expensive silver British coin sold at auction. The piece appeared in a joint sale of the Cope Collection of roughly 1,000 prized British and Roman coins, which Numismatica Ars Classica, Classical Numismatic Group, and Numismatica Genevensis held.<\/p>\n

Medalist Thomas Simon struck the Petition crown in 1663 to convince King Charles II to rehire him as the sole chief engraver at the mint. With a strikingly detailed portrait of Charles II on the obverse, the specimen features Simon\u2019s two-line request to the king on its edge. Ultimately, Simon\u2019s petition failed, and Charles II did not use his work for coinage.<\/p>\n

The Cope Collection sale totaled $8.8 million, and the auction as a whole realized $22 million across 3 days.<\/p>\n
