Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - James I (Third Bust) ND (1603-1604) coin from Ireland is that it features a unique design element known as a "pellet in the crescent" on the reverse side. This small pellet or dot is located within the crescent moon symbol, which is part of the coin's design. This feature was added to the coin to help distinguish it from other coins of similar design and value.
