| Obverse description | Crowned half-length effigy of James I facing right, richly attired in elaborately worked armour with a ruff visible at the collar and an ermine-lined mantle about his shoulders. The king holds an orb in his left hand and a sceptre in his right, both rendered in fine hammered relief. The crowned bust is set within a beaded inner circle, with the royal crown surmounted by fleurs-de-lis and crosses pattée. The peripheral Latin legend, separated by pellet stops, runs continuously around the circumference within the beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The quartered royal coat of arms of James I displayed on a shield, surmounted by the royal crown, occupies the centre of the field within a beaded inner circle. The shield is quartered with the arms of England (three passant guardant lions) in the first and fourth quarters, France (three fleurs-de-lis) in the second quarter, Scotland (a rampant lion within a double tressure flory-counterflory) in the third quarter, and Ireland (a harp) in the base, reflecting James I's claim as King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland. The crowned shield is flanked by the initials I and R (Iacobus Rex). The peripheral Latin legend, punctuated by pellet stops, encircles the design within the beaded border. |
