Context
The 1619 and 1623 issues both share the same designs and can only be distinguished through their weights. Due to a range of factors such as mint error, wear and corrosion, it will be impossible to conclusively determine which issue a particular specimen belongs to. See 'The Scottish Post-Union Copper Coinage of James VI: New Evidence', The British Numismatic Journal Volume 91 (2021) by Cameron Maclean for more information.
