Comment
The 60 Shilling coin was not minted during the reign of James VII. The coin was struck by Matthew Young from the original dies in 1828. This is an off metal strike.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 60 Shillings - James VII (Restrike, Pattern) 1688 (1828) from Scotland is that it was minted in 1828 as a restrike, meaning it was created from a previously existing die or minting tool, rather than being newly minted. This restrike was done as part of a series of experimental strikings of historical Scottish coins, and it is believed that only 20-30 of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors.
