James I (1603-25) gold Thistle Crown ND (1605-6) AU58 NGC, Tower mint, S-2627, N-2096. A popular gold denomination of James I, and in an admirable certified grade. An apricot tone warms the recesses of the boldly-struck planchet, lightening into hints of lemon at the highest points; almost fully round besides a minor loss of flan at 9 o'clock. Crisply detailed and a treat to view in-hand, an enticing piece of hammered gold.
