Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), James I (1603-25), First coinage (1603-4), First bust (1603).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence coin from James I's first issue is that it features a unique "first bust" design, which shows the king with a more youthful and slender appearance compared to his later coinage portraits. This design was only used for a short period of time before being replaced by a more mature-looking portrait, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
