Description
James I (1603-1625), Shilling, third coinage, sixth bust, mintmark rose (1620-1621), king crowned right
with longer curly hair, denomination XII, behind, legend surrounds JACOBVS DG MAG BRI FRA ET HIB REX, within beaded linear circle. Rev, square topped quartered shield of arms, reads QVAE DEVS CONIVNXIT NEMO SEPARET, 5.97g (S.2668; N.2124). Struck on full flan, legends clear for the most part despite some doubling, strong portrait with some annealing fissures mainly on obverse. In its feel and general aesthetic the above coin does resemble a ‘fine works’, especially so on the reverse. Test mark punches above shield, good very fine.
