Half Crown
James I 1603-1625 AD
James VI & I (19 June 1566 - 27 March 1625) was King of Scots as James VI from 24 July 1567. On 24 March 1603, he also became King of England and Ireland as James I when he inherited the English crown and thereby united the Crowns of the Kingdoms of Scotland and England (each country remained legally separate, with their own Parliaments, judiciary, coinage etc., though both ruled by James). James VI & I continued to hold both crowns until his death in 1625, but based himself in England (the larger of the two realms) from 1603.
Gold halfcrowns were finally minted during the reign of James I, but the coinage of silver halfcrowns continued. The issues of Charles I are very complex as is the case for the shilling. Coincraft lists no less than 128 different varieties, some of which are unique, not including the unusual siege coins of Newark and Scarborough.
