SCOTLAND. Ryal ("Sword Dollar"), 1567 (Revalued 1578). Edinburgh Mint. James VI. PCGS Genuine--Surfaces Smoothed, EF Details Gold Shield.
S-5472. First coinage with thistle countermark. Though the host has been somewhat smoothed as noted, this specimen is otherwise pleasantly toned with a great showcase for the countermark--applied in 1578 as a revaluation. Highly charming and alluring.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
