Scotland
James IV (1488-1513) gold 1/2 Unicorn ND XF40 NGC, Edinburgh mint, Lis mm, Star stops, S-5321. While a bit short of flan and softly struck at the center, there is little of the normally seen doubling of detail on the wavy star of the reverse, or indeed among the lettering of the legends. The unicorn, prancing with his right rear hoof upon the large annulet with the rectangular block to left of it, lacks small details but is sharply outlined. An always popular type, and overall a desirable piece possessing antique greenish gold color.
Ex. Eric P. Newman Collection
Estimate: 3500-4000 USD
