| Aversbeschreibung | Crowned and armored bust of King Charles I facing left, wearing a ruff collar and royal mantle, with a laureate crown surmounting the effigy. The king's portrait is rendered in the late hammered style characteristic of the Edinburgh Mint, with fine detail in the royal regalia. A continuous Latin legend encircles the bust within the coin's periphery, separated by pellets or stops. The field is plain, with the effigy occupying the central portion of the flan. |

Charles I's Scottish coinage was reorganized under the supervision of Nicholas Briot, the French-born former chief engraver of the Tower Mint, who brought continental die-cutting techniques to Edinburgh after arriving in Scotland around 1635. The 4th issue of the 3rd Coinage falls squarely within the period of acute political crisis between Charles and his Scottish subjects — the Bishops' Wars erupted in 1639, and the king's attempts to impose an Anglican prayer book on the Kirk had already provoked the National Covenant the previous year.
Briot's influence on the dies is detectable in the cleaner, more mechanical quality of the engraving compared to earlier Edinburgh output.
