SCOTLAND. Rider (5 Pound Piece), 1593. Edinburgh Mint. James VI. NGC EF-45. S-5458; Fr-44; Burns-2. Obverse: King in armor and with sword, on horseback riding right; Reverse: Crowned shield. An entirely pleasing specimen, this attractive beauty offers a honeysuckle golden color and nicely applied details that are free of excess handling or marking. A somewhat straight edge seen at approximately 11 oclock hints that this Rider may have been clipped, though if it has, this has not destroyed any detail or the readability of the legend. Soft circulation is seen on the high elements, and when put together, this beauty is assured many bids on account of its attractivity. <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.
