Ex Rowley Butters, St James Auction 9, 18th June 2008, lot 334. PCGS certification 34313450. This is the actual coin illustrated in the 1974 edition of 'English Silver Coinage'. The Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Charles the second by the grace of God" and on the reverse "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland. The Latin inscription on the edge is what gives this pattern its name and translates as "Render to Caesar, the things which are Caesar's," with the smaller font abbreviation for "POST NUBILA PHOEBUS" meaning "After the storm, the sun shines" alluding to the Restoration of the monarchy after the Commonwealth period. The French words on the garter translate as "Evil to him who evil thinks." Celebrated Victorian numismatist J. B. Bergne published the whereabouts of ten examples of the Reddite crown in silver his 1854 article in the Numismatic Chronicle, three of which were institutionalised and seven in theory still privately held if they all survive till today. Four examples of these seven have appeared in the last forty years for sale whether privately or through auction. The other three have either not surfaced since Victorian times, or may have been last offered over 90 years ago and are all examples that are apparently in lower grade. The choices of Reddite Crowns available to the market are few and far between, and the finest one from the Glenister collection, hammered at auction for £330,000 in March 2014, representing a total price including premium and UK tax on the premium of £409,200. These "Reddite" Crowns are much rarer than the companion "Petition" crown with only ten examples known as of 1854 and fewer than that known today.
