Charles I or Charles II Bodle?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

my latest aquisition has me scratching my head. It appears to be copper and 20mm in diameter. My best research indicates its a Charles I Scottish Bodle (twopence), The visible legend reads; EMO . ME . IMPVN (possibly NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET with a V instead of a U in IMPUNE) on one side and; CAR . DG . SCOT . AN (possibly CRDG SCOT ANG FR ET HIB) on the other (the edge of a thistle is also visible).

However other examples I have found do not have a symbol 'II' to the right hand side of the crown and above the 'R' symbol as mine does, does this indicate it could be a Charles II Scottish Bodle? I know the answer will be obvious to many of you, but I have only been collecting coins since April!

If the picture hyperlink below does not work when you click on it try pasting it into your address bar;

Many thanks in anticipation.

Indeed it is a Charles I bodle or turner. The II in Roman numerals denotes the value. Other than that with the image being dark(at least on my monitor) I cannot yet break it down by subtype etc.
