It will be noted by prospective buyers that this coin has been identified incorrectly by PCGS, confusing the crowned rose on the caparison for the crowned thistle as witnessed on the Scottish 60-Shilling issues of the same monarch. Bidders are advised to review the Spink description for an accurate report about this item
