It’s a coin of King James I - so after 1603.

The left image says “...Rex Jacob 6 D G...”.

...King Jacob the 6th, By the Grace of God ... (D G is Deus Gratia, still on British coinage).

“Jacob the 6th” would almost certainly be James the 6th of Scotland, who became James I upon ascension to the throne of England.

I can’t read the rest (before of after) as my Latin is not good enough - I am a barbarian.
