Shilling, noodmunt van Jacobus II, koning van Engeland, uit maart 1690 1690 - 1693

This silver shilling, minted in 1690, depicts King James II of England, with the inscription “IACOBVS II DEI GRATIA” on the obverse. The reverse showcases a crowned monogram of the King and the inscription “JACOBVS II REX” with crossed scepters. The coin, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, is a valuable historical artifact, showcasing the artistry and symbolism of English coinage during the reign of James II. This is an example of numismatic art, and its small size makes it a fascinating example of the detail and craftsmanship of the period.
