| 裏面の説明 | A large quartered royal shield of arms, surmounted by a elaborate imperial crown, occupies the centre of the field. The quarters display the arms of England (three passant guardant lions) and Scotland (a rampant lion) impaled in the first and fourth quarters, France ancient (fleurs-de-lis) in the second, and Ireland (a harp) in the third. The royal cypher 'I R' (Jacobus Rex) flanks the shield to left and right respectively. The circumferential legend, separated by a pellet, runs within a beaded border. |

James VI of Scotland arrived in London in May 1603 following Elizabeth I's death, and the Tower Mint wasted little time issuing gold coinage in his name. The sovereign retained the same weight and fineness established under the Tudor monetary system — a deliberate continuity signal from a king acutely aware that his welcome in England was politically conditional. The second bust variety reflects an almost immediate revision to the royal portrait, likely driven by the king's own dissatisfaction with his initial likeness.
Production of this first coinage type ceased by 1604 when a broader recoinage program introduced new denominations and portraiture. Surviving examples from this two-year window are consequently scarce.
