Norbert Roettiers prepared dies for a Scottish coinage in 1716, no contemporary examples of these cons are known to exist, this is from a limited number that were struck from the original dies in 1828 by Matthew Young, after which the dies were defaced.
A very nice example of a rare and most interesting coin.
