EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical significance of the Cromwell crown dies, dating back to 1658. Created by an English School in the 17th century, this steel masterpiece is now housed in The Royal Mint Museum in Llantrisant, UK. The image showcases a detailed view of the obverse die with a distinctive crack that can still be seen on surviving coins. These dies were used to mint coins during Oliver Cromwell's reign as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Oliver Cromwell himself was an influential figure in English history, known for his military prowess and political leadership. His portrait adorns one side of these medals while intricate coats of arms and laurel wreaths decorate the other. The photograph beautifully highlights every intricacy and detail present on this historic artifact. It serves as a reminder of a significant era - the Cromwellian interregnum - when power shifted from monarchy to republicanism. With its rich symbolism and historical importance, this print transports viewers back in time to witness an essential piece of England's past. It stands as a testament to both artistic craftsmanship and political change during one man's transformative rule over three nations.
