| Aversbeschreibung | Fourth bust effigy of King James I facing right, depicted with curly hair and a long beard, wearing an ornate lace ruff collar and royal robes, surmounted by a closed imperial crown. The portrait is rendered in the hammered style characteristic of early Stuart coinage, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, separated by pellet stops, reads in abbreviated Latin around the entire circumference of the coin. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A large Irish harp, with a winged female figure as the forepillar, surmounted by a royal crown, occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle. The mintmark appears at the beginning of the circumferential legend, which is separated by pellet stops. The design is characteristic of the Irish coinage issued under James I, with the harp serving as the principal symbol of the kingdom of Ireland. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
James I inherited a monetary mess in Ireland. The Nine Years' War had ended in 1603 leaving the island flooded with debased and clipped coinage, much of it the product of Elizabeth I's deliberate debasement policy toward Irish silver issues. The 1604 recoinage was an attempt to restore credibility to the Irish monetary system under unified Stuart rule, though the shilling issues of this period still circulated well below their nominal English equivalents in practice.
The KM#15.1 and 15.2 distinction reflects a die variation in the bust treatment documented by Spink — collectors working this series should consult Simon's works alongside Dowle and Finn for attribution.
