James I Double Crown, 2nd coinage, 3rd bust, rare mm lis
James I (1603-25), gold Double Crown, second Coinage (1604-19), third crowned bust right within beaded circles and legend, initial mark lis (1604-05), .IACOBVS. D;G; MAG; BRIT; FRAN; ET. HIB; REX., rev. crowned quartered shield of arms, I to left, R to right, .HENRICVS. ROSAS. REGNA. IACOBVS:, weight 4.84g (Schneider -; N.2086; S.2621). Lightly toned though perhaps once cleaned, tiny rim split at upper left of obverse, some flan creases, good fine to almost very fine and rare initial issue of the second coinage, no example present in the Schneider collection.
The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "James by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland" and on the reverse as "Henry united the Roses, James the Kingdoms," a legend that is exclusive to this reign.
The original pyx trial records show that £137,475 of 22 carat crown gold was struck for this mint mark at the start of this coinage from 11thNovember 1604 until 31st May 1605.
