Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - James I (2nd issue; 3rd bust) ND (1604-1616) coin from England is that it features a unique design element known as a "pellet-in-ring" mintmark. This mintmark, which appears on the coin's reverse side, is a small circle containing a central pellet (or dot) surrounded by a ring. The pellet-in-ring mintmark was used by the Royal Mint during this time period to indicate that the coin was struck at the Tower of London. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and numismatists who specialize in British coins.
