Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Crown - James I (2nd coinage; 3rd bust) ND (1604-1606) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in England. James I, who ruled from 1603 to 1625, was the first English monarch to rule both England and Scotland, and his reign saw the union of the two countries under a single government. This coin, minted during his reign, features a portrait of the king on one side and a depiction of the royal coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the unity and power of the English monarchy during this time.
