Toned, fully round with a well centred strike, has been graded and slabbed by NGC as AU55, more unusual variety with the pellets under the lis cross ends and the corded crown band with hatched interior, very rare.

The Latin obverse legend translates as "James the Fifth, by the Grace of God, King of the Scottish" and on the reverse as "Let us follow the arms of the Cross."
