| 裏面の説明 | Central device depicts a thistle — the heraldic emblem of Scotland — surmounted by a large royal crown with cross-pattée finial, all set within a beaded inner circle. The thistle head is rendered with fine petal detail, reflecting the union of the English and Scottish crowns under James I. The encircling Latin legend TVEATVR • VNITA • DEVS reads 'May God protect this Union', a direct reference to the union of the crowns of England and Scotland in 1603. An outer beaded border frames the entire composition. The hammered strike is characteristic of early seventeenth-century Tower Mint production. |

James I's second coinage, introduced in 1604, coincided with his adoption of the title King of Great Britain — a designation Parliament had refused to ratify, but which James used on his coinage regardless. The larger crown variety within this series reflects a mid-run die modification, distinguishable from the smaller crown type catalogued separately under the same Spink number range.
At under a gram, these halfgroats saw heavy use in small transactions and survivors in any decent state of preservation are genuinely scarce.
