Nice coin - though I don't know what you are complaining about - I've found a number of gold coins, but I've never found a shilling of James I (or any other coin of James I) Smiley

Well the reverse mm looks like Cinquefoil to me (1613-15) - it's definitely at least a second period shilling (reverse with QUAe etc) - and the obverse 'HI' rather than 'HIB' - but the obverse mm doesn't look like cinquefoil to me - there's very little space left for the mm too (there are no pellets eithe side of it, which should help nail it down to which period).

Maybe this will help:-

It's a document on the silver English coins of James I
