| Additional information |
James VI's 9th coinage of 1605–1609 was introduced following the Union of the Crowns in 1603, when the king was navigating the awkward fiscal reality of running two separate monetary systems for England and Scotland simultaneously. The Scottish crown denomination was deliberately kept distinct from its English equivalent, as any attempt to unify the coinage outright would have required parliamentary consent James did not yet have.
Spink 5467 is among the scarcer types of the series, with surviving examples predominantly in institutional collections.
