Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), James I (1603-25), Second coinage (1604-19), Fifth bust, silver shilling.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - James I (2nd issue; 5th bust) ND (1606-1613) coin from England is that it features a unique design element known as a "pellet-in-ring" mintmark. This mintmark, which appears on the reverse side of the coin, 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 to indicate that the coin was struck at the Tower of London, and it is a distinctive feature of coins from this era.
