STUART. Charles II. 1660-1685. AR Crown. Dated 1662. First bust, rose below, striped cloak. Edge undated. Bull 345 var. (no edge letter); ESC 17 var. (same); SCBC 3350B var. (same). Richly toned with some underlying luster. Good VF. The striped frosting on the cloak clear. Extremely rare.

From the Gainsborough Collection.

It has been suggested that the striping on the king's cloak was a precursor to frosting and may have been used at the mint for die identification. The striped cloak variety with undated edge is not recorded by Bull. The specimen offered here is considerably finer than only three examples of striped cloak Crowns of Charles II in CoinArchives.
