James VI (I) Ryal 1570 MS62 NGC, Edinburgh mint, First coinage, S-5472, Burns-pg. 350, 5 (Fig. 921) (there, with countermark). Of outstanding preservation for the type, this superbly toned stone gray specimen is produced on a high-quality flan free of edge splits or notable disturbances, its exquisite detail enveloped in an alluring glossy finish. An impressive conditional rarity whose former inclusion in the esteemed Millennia Collection comes of no surprise when fully experienced in hand.
