The Lord Stewartby Collection of Scottish Coins at the Hunterian, University of Glasgow Part I. James IV - James VI, 1488-1625

This latest volume from the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles publishes the first portion of the Lord Stewartby Collection, the most important assemblage of Scottish coins ever put together by a private individual. The collection has a depth and range across all metals and denominations, which is exceptional and makes it an important academic resource for researchers, whether numismatists or historians, or as a reference point for collectors.
