英国内战期间一枚罕见的先令攻城硬币在拍卖会上以 19,000 英镑的价格售出。

It was part of the Frank Waley collection of hammered silver and milled gold.

它是弗兰克·韦利 (Frank Waley) 锤打银和磨金系列的一部分。

The shilling is an example of an 'obsidional' or 'emergency' coin, created by Royalist towns under siege during the war to pay the garrison's daily expenses and ensure the loyalty of defending troops.

先令是“紧急”或“紧急”硬币的一个例子，由战争期间被围困的保皇党城镇铸造，用于支付驻军的日常开支并确保保卫部队的忠诚。

With limited supplies of regular coins and isolated from the main Royalist forces, these besieged towns turned to silver items, including church plate, flagons, and private flatware, to create their own currency.

由于普通硬币供应有限，且与保皇党主力部队隔绝，这些被围困的城镇转而使用银制品，包括教堂盘子、酒壶和私人餐具，来创造自己的货币。

The lack of minting tools meant that the silver was crudely hammered into lozenge, octagonal, and circular shapes and struck with simply engraved dies bearing the town's name, denomination, and date.

由于缺乏铸造工具，银币被粗暴地锤打成菱形、八角形和圆形，并用简单的刻有城镇名称、面额和日期的模具进行冲压。

Some of these coins still show traces of the original decoration from the items they were made from.

其中一些硬币仍然显示出其制作材料的原始装饰痕迹。

It was surrounded by Scottish Covenanters after the Royalist defeat at Marston Moor.

The Royalist garrison, under Sir Thomas Glenham, defended the fortress for eight months despite severe shortages of food and supplies.

尽管食物和补给严重短缺，托马斯·格伦纳姆爵士领导的保皇党驻军仍保卫了这座堡垒八个月。

By the time the siege ended in June 1645, the defenders were starving but still managed to negotiate terms of surrender.

1645 年 6 月围困结束时，守军已饥肠辘辘，但仍设法达成投降条款。

The English Civil War (1642-1651) saw a series of armed conflicts between the Royalists, who supported King Charles I, and the Parliamentarians, who sought to limit his power and establish a constitutional monarchy.

英国内战（1642-1651）爆发了支持查理一世国王的保皇党和寻求限制国王权力并建立君主立宪制的议员之间的一系列武装冲突。
