James VI (1567-1625) gold Rider 1594 AU53 NGC, Seventh coinage, S-5458, Burns-4. An appealing example, lightly circulated with reddish tone in protected areas. The planchet is typically crude but is of good metal and lacks waves or creases. The reverse legend, "I hope for better things" is somewhat prophetic as James would ascend the throne of England upon the death of Elizabeth I in 1603.
Estimate: 5000-5500 USD
