| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Charles II facing right, rendered in high relief with flowing long hair and classical armour with ornate shoulder detail. A thistle sprig appears above the bust in the upper field. The peripheral legend is separated from the inner field by a toothed or beaded border, clearly visible around the coin's rim. The effigy is engraved in the refined baroque style characteristic of Thomas Simon's work for the Scottish milled coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles II's Scottish coinage resumed only after his restoration in 1660, with the Edinburgh mint reactivating after years of Cromwellian suppression — during which Scottish coin production had been effectively halted and replaced by Cromwell's own dies. The 1664 issues represent some of the earliest regal Scottish silver struck under his authority, produced at a mint that had spent the Interregnum largely idle.
The Spink 5607 attribution places this squarely in the first type of the first coinage, distinguished from later issues by specific die characteristics that were revised as production matured through the 1660s.
