A 1643 Charles I Oxford triple unite gold coin will sell at Spink on March 22.

King Charles moved his court to Oxford in 1642

King Charles moved his court (including the Royal Mint) to Oxford after he was ousted from the city of London during the English Civil War.

This specimen is of particular note as it was once in the collection of King Edward VII. It's expected to realise around £80,000-100,000 ($113,660-142,076).
