What reading level is A Guide to the Department of Coins And Medals in the British Museum book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the English shilling was equivalent to twelve Scottish shillings.
Amongst the gold money may be specially mentioned the £20 piece (No. 123), which represents on the obverse the half-length figure of the king holding a sword and an olive-branch, and is the largest gold coin ever struck in Scotland ; the thistle noble (No. 126), similar in type to the old English noble ; and the rider and its half (Nos. 128, 129), which were copied from similar coins of James IV. Amongst his silver coins the ryal... and its divisions (Nos. 132-134) resemble similar coins of Mary. On some of his later coins there are good attempts at portraiture.
After the union of the two crowns the Scottish coinage, as already mentioned, was brought into close conformity with that of England, being of the same denominations and of the same types, except that the king wears the Scottish crown, which differs from the English one in having the lis instead of the cross as the central ornament ; and on the reverse, after 1610, the Scottish arms were substituted for the English in the first and fourth quarters of the shield.
