[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4889537, member: 110226"]Here's a sword ryal of 30 shillings, dated 1571, of James VI of Scotland, later James I of England, when he ascended to the throne in 1603 following the death of Elizabeth I and the end of the Tudor line. This crown was hammer struck, with the result of many examples showing uneven and double strikes. The flans were also quite crude and not truly round. Also, many of these coins show a thistle revaluation countermark of 1578. This coin does not have the countermark. This coin was purchased from Karl Stephens in April, 1993. The obverse and reverse legends read as follows: Obverse: "James by the grace of God, King of Scotland". Reverse: "For me; but against me if I deserve". Davenport 8467 30.4 grams 44 mm, 10 h.
