The Laurel was the third English gold coin with a value of twenty shillings or one pound produced during the reign of King James I. It was named after the laurel that the king is portrayed as wearing on his head, but it is considerably poorer in both quality and style than the sovereign and unite which preceded it. The coin was produced during James I's third coinage (1619-1625), five different busts of the king being used in these years. All the coins were produced at the Tower Mint in London. The laurel weighed 140.5 grains (9.1 grams or just under 0.3 troy ounce), less than the previous Unite but almost exactly the same as the Unite issued under Charles I.

  • Laurel (engl. für Lorbeer) ist der Name einer unter dem englischen König Jakob I. zwischen 1619 und 1625 geprägten Goldmünze. Der Name leitet sich davon ab, dass die Vorderseite der Münze die Büste Jakobs mit einem Lorbeerkranz zeigte. Noch nie zuvor war ein englischer König auf diese Weise auf einer Münze dargestellt worden. Der Laurel wog 8,71 Gramm und war rund 910/1000 fein. Der Wert der Münze entsprach 20 Schilling. Im deutschsprachigen Raum war der Laurel auch als Jacobus oder Jakobiner bekannt. Vorgänger und gleichzeitig Nachfolger des Laurels war die Unite. (de)

The earlier busts show considerably more detail of the king, who is looking to the left of the coin and has the value "XX" to the right, behind the kings' head. The legend on the obverse reads IACOBUS D G MAG BRI FRA ET HIB REX -- James by the grace of God, of Britain France and Ireland King. The reverse shows a long cross over a crowned shield which shows the arms of the four countries, and the legend FACIAM EOS IN GENTEM UNAM ("I will make them one nation", from Ezekiel 37:22) (en)
