Translation | Translated from Latin: Charles, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland. |
This legend was displayed on the coinage of King Charles I of England. By long standing tradition, it is in Latin language and not in English. The legend reflects the king's claim to the throne of France (which he did not actually rule). |
