GREAT BRITAIN. Rose Ryal, ND (1605-06). London Mint; mm: rose. James I. NGC EF Details--Mount Removed. S-2613; Fr-230; N-2079. Second coinage. Obverse: James seated facing on throne, with head turned slightly left, and holding scepter and orb; portcullis below; all within polylobe; Reverse: Coat-of-arms in ornate polylobe within decorative rose. An extremely broad and impressive issue in gold, this example, like many of its brethren, exhibits some evidence of being utilized as a jewelry piece at one point. Nevertheless, the level of details remaining is quite pleasing, allowing this specimen to fit rather nicely into an advanced collection of British or world gold in general. <strong>To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=the+Augustana+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Augustana Collection.
