SCOTLAND. Ryal (Sword Dollar), 1569. James VI (1567-1625). NGC AU-53.
S-5472; C-SJ6RY-015. Without later revaluation mark and entirely original. Small planchet crack at about 3 o'clock as made. Seldom seen in this level of preservation with most examples being very well traveled over the centuries. A good heavy strike has left quite bold devices with only a few small areas of weakness which are due to slight irregularities in the flan thickness. Deep old toning making this handsome piece the complete package. NGC AU-53.
Estimate: $2000.00- $2500.00
