Comments

House of Stuart (1603-49), James I (1603-25), Second coinage (1604-19).

This coin has very apparent shipwreck effect. I do not know which shipwreck it is from. This specific coin was purchased in a lot of 1/2 reales found in Florida. This coin does have apparent shipwreck effect/saltwater damage. It was found with the Spanish Charles II coins.
