Coin (reverse), penny, from reign of James VI & IThis is the reverse of a penny minted at Edinburgh in 1623, during the reign of James VI & I. The coin was made of copper and was worth one penny Scots. The reverse has a lion rampant with one pellet behind. The pellet indicates the coin's value. The Latin inscription, a continuation of that on the obverse, translates as: 'King of France and Ireland'. 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.
