Coin (Reverse), six shilling piece, from reign of James VI & IThis is the reverse of a silver six shilling piece minted at Edinburgh in 1606, during the reign of James VI & I. The reverse has a shield of arms with the Scottish arms in the 2nd quarter, and the date, 1606, above. The Latin inscription translates as: 'What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder'. The words are from the Gospel of St Matthew. The coins of James VI's reign are considered to have the most beautiful designs and most varied legends of all Scottish coins. After the Union of the Crowns of 1603, Scottish gold and silver coins closely resembled their English counterparts. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
