I'm currently cataloguing the William Hunter collection of Scottish coins The Hunterian. This Noble of David II (c.1357) is a highlight. It's Scotland's 1st ever gold #coin, 1 of 4 in existence. I never thought I'd get to hold one #NumisChat #Numismatics #ScottishHistory #Coinage
I am cataloguing the North Africa and Spain collection The Hunterian for the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum project (sylloge-nummorum-graecorum.org). Work has started with assessing the collection against MacDonald's mighty collection publication! #numismatics #NumisChat
Some of my favorites from Hunter's Scottish collection The Hunterian are the Ducat, 2/3rd & 1/3rd Ducat of James V. They're dated 1540 but were struck up until James's death in 1542. They're the earliest coins to be made from Scottish gold. #NumisChat #Numismatics #ScottishHistory
