| Lot description: A Collection of Scottish Coins, the Property of a Gentleman (Part I) John Baliol (1292-1296), First coinage, Sterling, without mint name (probably Berwick), mm. cross pattée, small irregular lettering, crude bust left, rev. long cross, four mullets of six points in angles, 1.41g/6h (Stewartby and Holmes 13/at; SCBI 35, 300, same dies; B 1, fig. 210, same dies; S 5065). Nearly very fine for issue, rare £200-£260 --- Provenance: bt November 2004 In the opinion of the vendor 'it seems likely that this First coinage was actually issued under Baliol, while the Second coinage is much more problematic'. The first coinage is a continuation of, and die-links with, Alexander's type J which, like type H, was probably posthumous, being issued c. 1286-92. A mullet punch with a broken point, used on Baliol's first coinage Sterlings (B 210A and 210B) is also found on some type J reverses [see previous lot]. |  |
