Great Britain
James I (1603-1625) gold Rose Ryal ND (1612-1613) MS62 PCGS, Tower mint, Tower/Star mm, Second Coinage, S-2613, N-2079. An outstanding, large-size piece of Stuart gold preserved in Mint State; struck with a rusty obverse die, the reverse far fresher. This denomination marks the final British coin produced following the Sovereign canon of Henry VII, with monarch enthroned between pillars, the reverse shield within a rose (hence 'Rose' Ryal). Interestingly, James has portrayed himself as king of Great Britain, despite being denied that title on legal grounds by the House of Commons in early 1604. The size and undeniable beauty of these pieces led to their being mounted, used in jewelry or heavily polished rather frequently. Accordingly, to find an unadulterated specimen of this quality without significant evidence of circulation is rare indeed and sure to cause a clamour amongst collectors of hammered British gold.
