Obverse:

MARIA D G R SCO[TORV]M. 'Baby' face with single arched crown.

Reverse:

OPI DVM EDN BVR. Crowns and cinquefoils in quarters.

Fine and rare. This issue is the only reasonably obtainable portrait coin of Mary, Queen of Scots, and would make a historically significant cabinet companion to a penny of Elizabeth I, who famously ordered Mary’s execution.
