| Obverse description | The obverse displays the crowned Royal Arms of Scotland within a shield, featuring the rampant lion passant in the field. The crowned shield is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of late 16th-century Scottish coinage. The surrounding legend, struck in Latin, reads IACOBVS · 6 · D · G · R · SCOTOR, identifying the issuer as James VI, by the Grace of God, King of Scots. The lettering is set in a beaded or linear border typical of the period. |
