Great Britain
James I gold Rose Ryal ND (1606-1607) AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Tower mint, Escallop mm, Second coinage, KM42, S-2613, N-2079 (R), Schneider-Unl. 13.54gm. (escallop) • IACOBVS • D' • G' • MAG' • BRIT' • | FRAN' • ET • HIBER' • REX •, James seated facing on Gothic throne, within tressure, lis-tipped scepter in right hand, globus in left, portcullis at feet / • (escallop) • A • DNO' • FACTVM • EST • ISTVD • ET • EST • MIRAB' • IN • OCVLIS • NRIS, royal shield over Tudor rose. A scarce earlier example of this classic rarity of the Stuart series, and only the third example with this privy mark we have handled. The final British coin produced following the Sovereign canon of Henry VIII, with the monarch enthroned between pillars, and the reverse shield within a Tudor rose (hence 'Rose' Ryal), this type is well-known as an issue that suffers from numerous post-mint problems, most often cleaning and punctures, together with regular flan cracks. Admittedly cleaned in the distant past, the selection seen here nevertheless shows evidence of a strong strike, and is notable as a privy missing from the Schneider Collection.
