Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - James I (2nd issue; 4th bust) ND (1605-1609) coin from England is that it features a unique design element known as a "pellet-in-ring" mintmark, which was used to indicate the coin's purity. The mintmark, located on the reverse side of the coin, depicts a small pellet (or bead) surrounded by a ring. This feature was introduced during James I's reign to combat counterfeiting and to ensure the coin's authenticity.
