Pax Quaeritur Bello (Let Peace be Sought through War) – Oliver Cromwell’s personal motto Coins, Crown & Conflict: An Exploration of Cromwell’s England explores the period from the reign of Charles I and the English Civil Wars to the first years of the restored British monarchy under Charles II, through the coins, medals, people and objects associated with Oliver Cromwell. Oliver Cromwell has been the subject of speculation and research over the 350 years since his death. Some have praised him as a great reformer and supporter of religious freedom while others have reviled him as a ruthless tyrant. One thing we know is true – during his life (1599 – 1658) there was great change in England in religious, economic and political terms. Cromwell’s own actions and the events of his lifetime form one of the pivotal points in the history of Great Britain and her colonies. The exhibit features the Petition Crown, one of England's most rare and valuable coins. This marks the first time the coin has been displayed in the United States. Other artifacts include Oliver Cromwell's death mask, spectacles, and gauntlets.
