James VI gold Sword & Sceptre 1601, S-5460, KM20, AU55 NGC, bold details on a solid flan. Seldom seen so fine. This dated coin was struck in the first year of James' 8th Coinage, consisting of gold and silver only. His gold coins featuring a crossed sword and sceptre, symbols of command, were struck for only a few years, ending in 1604. The legend surrounding the crowned emblematic cross translates from Latin to English to mean "The safety of the people is the supreme law."
