SCOTLAND. 1/2 Unicorn, ND (1488-1513). Edinburgh Mint; mm: lis. James IV. NGC F-12.
S-5320; Fr-19; Burns-1. Obverse: Unicorn left; Reverse: Sun with 12 wavy rays. A RARE type, the present specimen provides a presentable example with yet remaining details and lovely color. The pattern of wear is even and not unsightly, despite its considerable time in circulation. Some curious edges suggest this piece may have been clipped in the past, as much of the legend has been effaced. Despite its drawbacks, much charm remains, and this piece is certain to attract much attention. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click
