Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - James I (3rd issue; 6th bust) ND (1619-1624) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in England. King James I, who ruled from 1567 to 1625, was the first English monarch to rule both England and Scotland, and his reign saw the introduction of the Union of Crowns, which united the two countries under a single monarch. Additionally, this coin was minted during a period of economic and political instability, with the country facing issues such as inflation, debasement of the currency, and conflicts with Parliament. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its silver content and historical significance making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
