ScottO's Poland 6 grozen

977013.jpg

not a rare coin by any means but still a great piece of early silver, and has the added bonus of some double striking on the obverse

 

Saor Alba's Scotland, James VI(1567-1625) Gold Noble of 1588

977057.jpg

This piece is an extremely rare and one year type. The coin was worth eleven merks or 146 shillings and 8 pence. Curiously the design is a throwback to earlier English nobles of the 14th century. These pieces were not popular, and were called in and quickly replaced by the sixth coinage. the legend around the periphery of the obverse of the coin is IACOBUS 6 DEI GRATIA REX SCOTORUM or James 6 by the grace of God, King of Scots. The legend on the reverse FLORENT SCEPTRA PIIS REGNA HIS IVOA DAT NUMERATQUE or "Sceptres flourish with the pious, Jehovah gives them the kingdoms and numbers them".
