Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - James I (3rd coinage) ND (1621-1624) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Ireland, which was not present on previous coinages of James I. This addition was made to symbolize the unity of the three kingdoms: England, Scotland, and Ireland, under the rule of a single monarch.
