Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), James I (1603-25), Second coinage (1604-19), Fourth bust (1605-16).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence coin from James I's second issue, fourth bust, is that it features a unique design element - a small shield bearing the coat of arms of Ireland, which was not present on earlier issues of the coin. This addition was a nod to James's desire to assert his authority over Ireland and reflects the political tensions of the time.
