One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - James I (2nd coinage; 'Thistle Crown') ND (1604-1605) coin is that it features a unique crown design, known as the "Thistle Crown," which was used specifically for this coinage. The crown is adorned with thistles, a symbol of Scotland, and was used to represent James I's role as the King of Scotland, as well as his claim to the English throne. This design was only used for a short period of time, making the coin a rare and interesting piece of numismatic history.
