| Obverse description | The crowned royal arms of Scotland occupy the central field, displaying the lion rampant within a shield surmounted by a royal crown. The arms are rendered in the bold, angular style characteristic of hammered Scottish coinage of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. A beaded inner circle frames the central device. The surrounding legend, in Roman capitals, reads IACOBVS · 6 · D · G · R · SCOTORVM, identifying James VI as King of Scots by the Grace of God. |
