| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting a large Tudor rose in full bloom, shown on a stem with flanking leaves, surmounted by an open crown. The rose, a symbol of the union of the English houses of Lancaster and York, occupies the majority of the field and is rendered in bold relief characteristic of hammered coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with the Latin royal legend disposed around the periphery. The irregular flan and variable strike are typical of early seventeenth-century Scottish hammered gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
James VI introduced the Thistle Crown in 1604 as part of his broader effort to harmonize Scottish and English coinage following the Union of the Crowns in 1603 — a politically charged exercise, since Scotland retained a legally separate monetary system despite sharing a monarch. The denomination was pegged at twelve shillings Scots, a value that reflected the longstanding debasement differential between Scottish and English currency, with Scots money trading at roughly twelve to one against sterling by this period.
Spink 5471 spans the 9th and 10th coinages, a range covering two decades and multiple die marriages. Collectors should be aware that attribution between the two coinages rests primarily on mint mark evidence.
