| Beschrijving keerzijde | A long voided cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quarters, with the crowned shield of Scotland — bearing the rampant lion — at the centre. The shield is surmounted by a crown and occupies the intersection of the cross arms. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, and the devotional legend in Gothic uncial script is distributed around the outer border between the cross terminals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Rider — named for its equestrian design — was introduced under James III as Scotland's highest-denomination gold coin, intended to circulate alongside the English noble and compete with the Burgundian gold coinage flooding into Scottish ports through North Sea trade. James III's reign was financially turbulent; he faced repeated baronial opposition and was widely accused of debasing the coinage, making the relatively pure gold Rider something of an exception in his monetary record.
Type I is distinguished from later emissions by specific die characteristics catalogued under Spink 5256, and survivors in any grade are genuinely scarce.
