Mintmark is triangle in circle I think, and it is 1641-3, Tower Mint under the King. (1639-40 is just triangle without the circle)

Charles I shillings are common in low grade but scarce in high. Yours is quite well struck for the reverse and the flan is round. It's a bit unfortunate there are some fresh scratches and rubbing.
