Not the best pics. But the NGC ones are worse and don't show off the gorgeous color!

 

German States not only struck the MOST coinage/ but were some of the nicest designs to boot.

Venice 1/2 Soldo 1619

 

James I Harington copper farthing (1613-14), type 3 mm. Martlet


James I 5th bust shilling, mm. Mullet over Bell (1611-12).


James I 2nd coinage penny, mm. Trefoil (1613)


James I 5th bust halfcrown, mm. Crescent, obv. over Book (1617-1618)


Finally, a pair of halfgroats, both mm. Spur Rowel (1619-20). The first is a true 3rd coinage example with no stops in the reverse legend (i.e. before and after VNITA). Apologies for the messy obverse. Spur Rowel is a very rare mark for silver, with only 5s.4d in the pyx trial, the lowest value of all marks for James I. Compare with the £154/13/3d of 1605 Rose marked silver and the rarity becomes obvious..


Second coin utilises a second coinage die with stops in the reverse legend and the mark is Spur Rowel over Saltire. No silver is known with the Saltire mark because no silver was brought to the mint for coining during this period, due to the spot price being higher than face value. Dies were however produced for this and other denominations (e.g. a sixpence with the same overmark is known), and subsequently overmarked. A close-up of the overmark shows it was entered a few times, so the dies could not have been sufficiently softened prior to reworking.
