| Obverse description | The field displays the inscription 'The Real' in script lettering above a central cartouche bearing 'MARY KING'S CLOSE' in relief, with 'Edinburgh' in flowing script below. A circular Latin legend runs around the periphery within a beaded border, the text appearing inverted at the bottom, suggesting the die was designed to be read with the reverse as the primary face. |
