1 Shilling - James I Third Bust

Beschrijving voorzijde	Right-facing crowned bust of King James I, depicted in the third bust style with a plain, full-face crown and ruffled collar visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of early Stuart coinage, with broad facial features and a slightly elongated neck. The portrait is contained within an inner beaded circle, with the royal legend running between the inner and outer beaded borders. The overall design reflects the work of the Tower Mint engravers active at the opening of James I's reign.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A crowned Irish harp occupies the central field, set within a beaded inner circle. The harp is depicted with characteristic detail of early Jacobean Irish coinage, showing the forepillar and strings clearly rendered. Above the harp, a royal crown extends slightly beyond the inner circle toward the legend. The reverse legend runs between the inner and outer beaded borders in Latin characters. This reverse type is distinctive to the Irish shilling coinage issued for James I from the Tower Mint.
