James I gold Quarter-Laurel, 3rd coinage, bust with straight ties, mm lis
James I (1603-25), gold Quarter-Laurel of Five Shillings, third coinage (1619-25), laureate and draped bust left, straight ties at rear of bust, value behind, Latin legend and beaded borders surrounding on both sides, initial mark lis (1623-24), beaded inner circle obverse only, IACOBVS D. G. MAG. BRI. FRA. ET. HI. REX., rev. long cross fourchee over crowned quartered shield of arms, legend surrounding with thin linear circle without punctuation, HENRIC 9 ROSAS REGNA IACOB.9, mint mark at end of third word, weight 2.27g (Schneider 98; N.2118; S.2642). Of bright appearance but with a light overtone, weak at centre of head and at crown over shield, otherwise about very fine.
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 lis mint mark was unusually used for only eight months, and original pyx trial records show that £241,701 of 22 carat crown gold was struck for this mint mark from 17th July 1623 until 31st March 1624.
