Unknown Mary ?
|
||
This a facinating Scottish hammered silver coin as it does not match any in the ref books. All of the James 1st to V reigns have a legend starting IACOBUS The legend clearly reads MAR and the only match is Queen Mary 1542 - she issued long cross pennies with a crown in two angles and cinquefoil in other two angles. This coin has 3 pellets in 3 angles and star in 4th quadrant Could be an unknown issue - needs more research |
