For the 18th century we need a George II. I thought I had a Lima half crown somewhere, but can't locate it. I already did George II. After 1066, we're missing (Louis VIII), Mary, Philip and Mary, Edward VII, (Edward VIII), Elizabeth II and all the Scottish monarchs except David II. I thought someone would have this guy...Charles II Undated Milled Twopence, 1660-1662 Tower. Silver, 12mm, 1.01g. Bust left to bottom of coin, single arched crown, II behind, toothed border; legend from lower left, CAROLVS. II. D. G. M. B. F. &. H. REX.
