The article from History Scotland Magazine explores the coinage of King James VI & I, focusing on the political messages and designs of his various coinages. King James VI's accession to the Scottish throne in 1567 led to the introduction of new coinage to solidify his position. His coinage included silver denominations like the ryal, two-thirds, and one-third ryal, with unique designs reflecting political messages. The article also delves into the complexities of James's coinage across Scotland, England, and Ireland, highlighting the diverse and extensive range of coins issued during his reign.
