Scotland, James III gold Rider, single shield tressure reverse, very rare
Scotland, James III (1460-88), gold Rider of Twenty Three Shillings, issued 1475-83, class I, armoured King on horseback galloping right, holding sword upright with plumed helmet, breaks inner beaded circle surrounding, legend and beaded border surrounding, IACOBVSxx DEIxx GRAxx RE X SCOTORx, rev. crowned quartered Scottish shield of arms, single tressure fleury over long cross pattee, SALVVm FAC POP VLVm T VVm DnE, weight 4.99g (mule of Burns 6/7, fig.602/603; S.5256). Just a little double struck off-centre, otherwise toned, good very fine and very rare with the single treasure to reverse shield in combination with T/VVM legend, an obverse and reverse recorded separately by Burns but not in use together, we can only trace one other example sold in the more modern period of time.
The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "James, by the Grace of God, King of Scotland" and on the reverse "O Lord, save Thy people" a Psalm from the Bible. A great deal of the gold in the coinage of Scotland at this period was mined locally principally from Crawford Moor, when nuggets from 2 grams to 30 ounces were discovered.
