Comment
House of Stuart (1603-49), James I (1603-25), Third coinage (1619-25), struck at the Tower mint, London.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence coin from James I's 3rd issue (1620-1624) is that it features a unique "6th bust" design, which shows the king with a more mature and stern expression compared to his earlier coinage. This design change was likely made to reflect the king's growing authority and maturity as a ruler.
