| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the crowned royal arms of Mary as Queen of Scots, rendered in a bold hammered style. The letter 'I' (for Iacobus, referencing her Stuart lineage) appears to the left of the shield and 'G' to the right, both in the field. The surrounding legend is separated from the central device by a plain inner circle, with the inscription running continuously around the periphery in Gothic-influenced Latin capitals. |
