Thistle. First Coinage. S-2608; North-2065; Fr-226; KM-20. 169.6 grains. First bust. Half-length bust right in plain armor holding orb and scepter. Rv. Crowned square top quartered shield flanked by ‘I’ and ‘R’. A second example. Sharply struck, but there is well-hidden flan lamination concealed in the arm.
