| 背面描述 | An elaborate floriated cross pattée occupies the centre of the field, its arms decorated with multiple fillets and terminating in fleur-de-lis at top and trilobate finials at the remaining terminals. Four thistle heads are placed in the angles formed by the cross arms, serving as the Scottish heraldic emblem. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the peripheral legend running continuously around the coin separated by a beaded border. The composition is vigorous and symmetrical, consistent with mid-sixteenth-century Scottish hammered gold technique. |

Mary I acceded to the Scottish throne at six days old following the death of James V in December 1542, making this one of the few crown coinages in European history issued in the name of an infant monarch. The Abbey Crown — so called from its association with the revenues of Holyrood — continued the denomination established under her father. Coins of the first period predate the regency coinage adjustments and were struck to the same standard James V had maintained, though output was limited almost immediately by the political instability surrounding the queen's minority.
