James VI (1567-1625) gold Sword and Scepter 1601 MS61 NGC, Edinburgh mint, Eighth coinage, 5.04g, KM20, SCBC-5460. • IACOBVS • 6 • D • G • R • SCOTORVM • / • SALVS • POPVLI • SVPREMA • LEX •. An extremely handsome example of the type, produced just two years prior to James accession to the English throne as King James I of England, this piece lacks any of the typical weakness in the center of the strike. While some slight weakness is to be found along the legends, which tend towards just slightly off-flan on the obverse, the overall quality of the strike, together with the perfect centeredness of the reverse, leaves little wanting. A pair of minute die cracks appear on either side of the rose at 12 o'clock, the do little to infringe on the otherwise undiluted beauty of this ever-popular design so commonly turned into jewelry, especially as the present offering currently ranks as the single finest example certified by NGC.
