Following the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 in the form of Charles II, both hammered and milled coinage was produced until 1662. The penny was a fairly common denomination and was produced by both methods from dies produced by Thomas Simon. The obverse showed a left-facing bust of the new king with no value indication behind his head, and the inscription CAROLUS II D G MAG BRI F ET H REX — "Charles II by the grace of God King of Great Britain France and Ireland". The reverse shows the king's shield over a cross, with the legend CHRISTO AUSPICE REGNO — "I reign under the auspices of Christ". This issue marks the end of the English hammered coinage — all subsequent English and British coins have been milled.
