SCOTLAND. Sword & Sceptre Piece, 1601. Edinburgh Mint. James VI. NGC EF-45. S-5460; Fr-46; KM-20; Burns-1. Obverse: Crowned coat-of-arms; Reverse: Sword and scepter crossed in saltire, thistle to left and right; crown above. Displaying much charm and beauty, this always popular and demanded type provides crisp details and well centered strike. Light wear, along with a central divot that might imply past bending, is noted, though these drawbacks are quite minor when compared to the beauty of the piece. A charmer, and certain to catch many bids. <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.
