| Beschrijving voorzijde | Equestrian effigy of King Charles I shown in profile, riding to the right, with the letter 'F' positioned beneath the horse's hoof denoting the mintmaster or die-cutter designation. A thistle device appears at the commencement of the outer legend, serving as a Scottish royal emblem. The king is depicted in armour, holding a sword, with the horse rendered in a classicising style typical of the Scottish hammered and early milled coinage of this period. The circular Latin legend encircles the entire design. |

The quartered arms display the lions of England and Scotland with the fleurs-de-lis of France and the harp of Ireland, consistent with the heraldic convention established for the Stuart monarchs. The composition is bold and symmetrical, occupying the majority of the reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 4th Issue of Charles I's Scottish 3rd Coinage falls squarely within the years of the Bishops' Wars, when Charles was attempting to impose Anglican prayer book reforms on Presbyterian Scotland — a political miscalculation that emptied the Scottish treasury and forced emergency fiscal measures. The Edinburgh mint was under sustained pressure to produce sufficient silver coinage for military and administrative payments, and the 30 Shilling denomination was the workhorse of that effort.
Sp#5556A is distinguished from adjacent varieties by specific briot-influenced die characteristics traceable to the influence of Nicholas Briot, former chief engraver at the Paris Mint, who had transformed Edinburgh's minting practices after his arrival in 1635.
