| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crowned lion passant guardant, facing forward, seated in the field and depicted wielding a drawn sword in its right paw and a sceptre in its left paw, rendered in the characteristic bold hammered relief of the period. The lion is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, its mane finely detailed and its crown of open form. The reverse legend in Roman capitals encircles the outer field, separated by pellets and a rosette stop, and reads continuously around the coin's circumference. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
James VI's 4th coinage was introduced following a major monetary reform in 1583, when the king — still a teenager under the influence of his French favourite Esmé Stewart — restructured the Scottish gold coinage partly to address chronic undervaluation against English and continental issues. The Lion Noble was pegged at 75 shillings Scots, a rate that already anticipated the inflationary spiral that would plague Scottish coinage through the rest of the century.
Spink 5453 is among the scarcer types of the 4th coinage, with surviving examples concentrated in a handful of institutional collections.
