<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3336424, member: 14873&quot;]Well, Beverly and I are having more fun than the law allows cleaning out my Scriptorium/Man-cave - I am unearthing “odds and ends” cigar and shoe boxes full of all kinds of trinkets and boyhood collectibles (aka “junk”). Some of those items were deposited fifty or more years ago - some were tossed in much more recently. I have even found a few coins (no Ancients of any note though) that I saved “to be researched later when I have time” (you know how that goes!) such as the Elizabeth I shilling I posted earlier. Well here is a James I shilling I found that was given to me about forty years ago by a (now deceased) coin collector friend - he thought I should have it, first because my name is James and second, because I am an amateur student and researcher of the English Civil wars and this coin has a somewhat tenuous association with that period. As I said when I posted the Elizabeth I coin, I know very little about these issues. I would appreciate any additional information or comments anyone can provide about this coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]883741[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]883742[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse inscription: JACOBVS DG ANG SCO FRA ET HIB REX</p><p>(James by the grace of God King of England Scotland France and Ireland)</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse inscription: EXERGAT DEVS DISSPENTER INIMICI</p><p>(Let God arise and his enemies be scattered)</p><p><br /></p><p>My friend included the following attribution tag written by him:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]883743[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
