English Hammered Coins
and the
Coinage of Napoleon Bonaparte
Specializing in the coins of Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I

A rarely offered date, as are any of the 4th bust sixpences after 1608.

This is your opportunity to pick up one of the better examples. Sporting a decent portrait, excellent crown and armour detail.
Strong legends as well. Quite a nice reverse although there is a weak spot that goes through the last digit of the date, but enough of the date shows, as well as the Key mintmark confirms it is indeed 1609.

James 4th Bust

OBVERSE LEGEND:
IACOBVS D:G:MA:BRI:FRA
ET HIB REX

REVERSE LEGEND:
QUAE DEUS CONJUNXIT NEMO SEPARET
What God hath joined together let no man put asunder.
