Charles I sixpence

Bought this Charles I sixpence along with the James I posted earlier. Is there a more precise way to date these?

I also wonder what year British coins started being dated and to having denomination stated on the coin.

 

I think Elizabeth I was the first to date them, denominations came much later, I think 1800's, possibly even 1900's.
