Description: James I, silver hammered sixpence 1605, third bust, mintmark rose. 2.54 g. An issue of the year of the notorious Gunpowder Plot, in which a group of revolutionary Catholics lead by Robert Catesby attempted to overthrow James I's regime by killing everyone present at the State Opening of Parliament via a large explosion, kidnapping the infant Princess Elizabeth (later known as the "Winter Queen" of Bohemia) and installing her as Queen under the regency of a Catholic nobleman. The plot failed due to the discovery of the gunpowder hidden under the House of Lords, and the plotters were either executed or died resisting capture. Fine, surface roughness, full and unclipped. Spink 2657 Reportedly a metal detecting find, North Yorkshire. International customers: this item requires an export licence, please allow additional time for shipping. There is no additional cost.
