Jamestown Commemorative - sort of

This is the closest I'll come to purchasing the 2007 Jamestown commemoratives. I've been looking for one of these for some time, and two showed up in a UK auction. Since it ended overnight here, I submitted bids on both and got this one.

Nice sixpence - also part of your prime number set, I assume?

Sort of. I already have a 1609 sixpence in the set and a 1607 Wildman half thaler. I don't want to duplicate types if I can help it, so if this were to become an official part of the set, I'll have to get a 1609 Wildman coin.

Nice piece. I'm not familiar with this type of coin, and I first read it as 1603. But your text refers to Jamestown, so it must be 1607. Plus, 1603 is not a prime!
