| Additional information |
James I's third coinage, introduced in 1619, followed a forced revaluation that raised the gold-silver exchange rate — a response to chronic undervaluation of English silver that had been driving coin out of the country for decades. The Crown denomination itself saw relatively limited production across the third coinage period, and surviving examples in any meaningful grade are genuinely scarce.
Spink 2664 corresponds to the mm. trefoil issue, struck during the final years of James's reign before his death in March 1625.
