SCOTLAND. Marriage of James VI and Anne of Denmark Base Metal Medal, ND (1590). Edinburgh Mint (?). VERY FINE.
Diameter: 57mm; Weight: 64.3 gms. A very RARE medal commemorating the marriage of King James VI of Scotland to Anne of Denmark in 1589. Cast and chased with incredible high relief on each side. Overall olive-grey patina with scattered green encrustations. Just three to four examples of this type have been reported and at least two are held in museum collections. The Hunterian Collection at the University of Glasgow contains an example they identify as "silver composition," while a gold example is part of the Carid Collection at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. A very important offering.
