- Impressive Near-Mint Rose Ryal GREAT BRITAIN. Rose Ryal, ND (1621-23). London Mint; im: Thistle. James I. PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield. S-2632; Fr-239; N-2108; KM-66.1. Third issue, fine gold coinage. Obverse: James seated facing on elaborate throne, head turned slightly left, holding lis-tipped scepter and orb; portcullis below; Reverse: Coat-of-arms over long cross fourchee; XXX (mark of value = 30 shillings) above; lis, lion, and rose alternating around. Well centered and struck on an attractive, broad flan, this immense gold denomination presents extraordinary detail and craftsmanship. One need only look to the obverse, where numerous lis and roses form the background behind the throne, while even smaller lis decorate the cushion against which the king sits. There is even great care taken to aspects of his attire, such as the ruffling of the collar and the detail given to the Order chain worn around his neck. A truly majestic specimen from late in the reign of this successor to Elizabeth I. Estimate: $15,000 - $25,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
