| Reverse description | A quartered royal shield of arms, bearing the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, displayed within a beaded inner circle. The date and mintmark appear above the shield in the upper field. The Latin motto legend surrounds the entire design within the outer circle, invoking divine protection for the monarch. The shield is rendered in the typical hammered style of the period, with clearly delineated quarterings. The overall composition is well-centred, as was standard for this issue of James I sixpences. |
