| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Mary Queen of Scots began her personal rule in Scotland in August 1561 following her return from France, and the third-period testoon issues of 1561–62 belong to that first chaotic stretch of her reign before her marriage to Darnley complicated everything. The 1578 countermark is the more consequential detail here: it was applied under the regency government of James VI's minority, part of a revaluation exercise intended to bring debased and foreign silver back into regulated circulation.
Countermarked Scottish silver of this period survives in small numbers, and finding the mark cleanly struck on a host coin with readable detail on both sides is harder than the type's modest catalog status suggests.
