Comment
Colon stops on obverse, no stops on reverseInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - James I (3rd coinage) ND (1620-1624) 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 reflect James's growing interest in Irish affairs and his desire to assert his authority over the island.
