| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of King James I facing right, rendered in the characteristic hammered style of the 5th bust type of his second coinage. The king wears a jewelled crown and elaborate ruff collar, with the mantle visible at the shoulder. A mint mark appears at the top of the field, above the royal effigy. The legend, separated by pellets, reads I · D · G · ROSA · SINE · SPINA, proclaiming James by the Grace of God a rose without a thorn. The whole is contained within an inner beaded circle. |
