SCOTLAND. 44 Shillings (Lion), 1553. Edinburgh Mint. Mary. NGC EF-45.
S-5394; Fr-30; Burns-5. With I G on obverse and Cinquefoils on Reverse. First Period, Before Marriage. Obverse: Crowned shield diving I G; Reverse: Crowned monogram of Mary cinquefoils. An intriguing and quite exciting piece, this beautiful issuance provides considerable details and a nice and well placed strike. Some soft circulation is perceptible on the devices, with no exceedingly ungainly wear. A single old mark is present on the tail of the lion on the reverse, though the surfaces are otherwise undisturbed. A RARE type, and quite handsome as such.
