| Beschrijving voorzijde | A hog passant to the left occupies the central field, with the Roman numeral VI positioned above the animal, all contained within a raised inner circle. The outer border bears the Latin legend SOMMER ILANDS, referencing the early colonial name for Bermuda, separated by decorative stops. The hog, the emblematic device of the Sommer Islands Company, is rendered in low relief with hatched body detail characteristic of early 17th-century hammered coinage. This issue, commonly known as Hogge Money, represents one of the earliest coinage series struck specifically for a British colonial territory. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bermuda's "Hogge Money" coinage of 1616 is among the earliest currency struck specifically for use in a British colonial possession. Produced in England — almost certainly in or around London — these pieces circulated on the island at a time when the Somers Isles Company controlled the colony. The brass composition was deliberate: the company wanted a currency that couldn't be exported and traded elsewhere, tying it firmly to the local economy.
The KM#4 sixpence is the largest denomination in the four-piece series. Contemporary accounts describe the coinage as poorly received by colonists, who preferred Spanish silver.
