This particular coin is from the first coinage with the portrait of Mary with an arched crown, a particularly rare coin, struck in small quantities, and one of the few with Mary crowned on a coin. The legend on the front of the coin is <i>+ MARIA D G R SCOTORVM</i> whilst the reverse is <i>OPIDVM EDNBVR</i>.&nbsp; Portrait coins from Queen Mary are very very rare, for the most part her monogramme was used on coinage.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
