SCOTLAND. Testoon, 1561. Edinburgh Mint. Mary. PCGS AU-50 Gold Shield.
S-5422. Emanating from the period of the queen's first widowhood, this alluring silver striking stands as an excellent survivor, remaining free from any handling issues, though exhibiting some flan flaws on and above her face as well as some doubling around her nose and forehead. Quite elegantly toned, it features some deeper cobalt and burgundy as one approaches the obverse peripheries, while some lighter cobalt, seafoam green, and rose gold is clear throughout the reverse. A truly magnificent specimen, and undoubtedly one of the finest that one is likely to encounter.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
