| Obverse description | Central design features a large Tudor double rose — an inner rose surrounded by outer petals — surmounted by a prominent royal crown with cross-pattée finial, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The crown is notably larger in proportion relative to the rose, characteristic of the second coinage type. The Latin legend encircles the design within the outer beaded border, reading I : D'. G' • ROSA • SINE • SPINA, proclaiming James as a rose without thorns by the Grace of God. The hammered flan exhibits slight irregularity typical of early Stuart coinage production. |
