Charles I Shilling - help with proper ID please

[Paddy]

I have seen this shilling at auction and I am struggling to be sure what variety it is. Described as Charles I shilling and weight given as 5.65g.

It appears at first glance to be Group F, but then the mintmark of a Crown does not make sense in the books. For the Tower mint the Crown should be Group D. For Aberystwyth mint it lacks the plume in front of the bust. I even checked the milled Charles II shillings, but that also doesn't seem to fit.

Or is it just a fake?

Please don't ask for better pictures - these are what the auction house has loaded!

Looks like a Charles II shilling to me. S 3322?

Ah, thank you - yes that fits. I saw S3308 and S3314, which lack the denomination marks and so did not work. I failed to turn the page and see S3322 which does have the XII.

Thank you.

Drop the cataloguer a tenner and suggest he spends it on some cheap glasses. Preferably ones that assist with vision. 

Who is the errant auction house? Surely they would put the S reference if familiar with coins?

It is a small house clearance auction that only very occasionally has coins. I am impressed they even managed to recognise it as a British hammered coin. Last year they listed large quantities of GB pre-47 coinage without even realising there was silver content!

I will post the name after the auction is over - I don't want anyone else on here bidding against me...

Here is the link to the Charles II shilling I was querying. Now sold for £160 hammer, which was a bit more than I wanted to pay:
