Description: This coined is mind-blowing. I've never seen anything like it in all my days and never imagined that we would. Finding this treasure is better than finding a coin of solid gold because gold coins are many, but to find a piece of History and Lore is unique. Like any other Masonic Temple coin that was made during the 20th century This coin has 16th century history that tells a story of a different kind.

Scotland wanted to replace Elizabeth on the throne with their own King James and in short order with the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 that's exactly what The Masonic order helped accomplish. James VI became king of Scotland in 1567 whenMarywas forced to abdicate. On the death of Elizabeth in 1603, he becameJames I of England. He is thus known as James VI and I. In 1590 he married Anna, the sister of the Danish king, Christian IV. There is an interesting story here.

We have been holding on to this one for quite a long time trying to understand the Masonic symbols and secrets of the coin. At first it just looks like some scratches on a coin. But with a little bit of research, it turns out that these actually have a deeper meaning. Not necessarily any links to Templar treasure or anything like that But still an interesting bit of history that may have something to do with Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot of 1603. Queen Elizabeth was against groups like the Masons. The Masonic order started as a gathering of builders working towards a common cause for the good of their people. The Mason's built the churches and the buildings of Isles. This was often a family trade carried down through the years and through the generations.

This large silver shilling coin is literally Freemason Scottish treasure.

Below is an article that We wrote recently on our site specifically about this piece .PendantandRing. "Before they were Freemasons" Freemasons are an extension of medieval Stonemason guilds established in London during the 17th century. Some lodges have records establishing membership guilds as early as 1600, but it is difficult to prove the history of any society with so much secrecy. Secret societies are frequently viewed with suspicion by the ruling classes. Queen Elizabeth I was no different. As an unmarried Royal, the last of the Stuart line, and a woman, she faced numerous naysayers and, thus distrusted secret keepers and secret societies. The brick and stone masons had no voice in municipal proceedings during the medieval era and early Renaissance. These and other laborers formed guilds to gain a municipal voice. Those early guilds were a place for established laborers to air their grievances, and for apprentices and journeymen to receive education. As a group, a guild could improve the social fabric by donating to charities or doing charitable work for the municipality. During the Renaissance, any powerful group was a threat to the monarchy. Especially, a protested protestant monarchy in a sea of Catholicism. Elizabeth the First was wary of powerful groups, guilds, and societies that could damage her monarchy. Some of the Renaissance guilds developed into secret societies like the Freemasons. After the cathedrals were built the number of Freemasons began to dwindle so they opened their rolls to other tradespersons, merchants, and members of society. Freemasons are not opposed to monarchy, and Elizabeth Is successor James VI was a Freemason registered in Perth, Scotland. [2] Nor are they opposed to any religion or social group, saying they aim to help men be their best selves. Be that as it may, many groups oppose, or once opposed the Freemasons. Listen to the NPR Freemason article findable on a search engine to learn about real and fictional Freemason secrets. The coin pendant in the image below in a Queen Elizabeth I Shilling. You can see some coin graffiti on both sides of the coin. When you look closer at the graffiti some interesting patterns appear. On the reverse we see the long cross through the shield, with different design in each quarter of shield, all inside a beaded circle, that begins with the hand mintmark at the top, then the abbreviated Latin legend surrounding: POSVI.DEV.ADIVTOREM.MEV This translates to: I have made God my helper There are three X marks on the reverse, perhaps indicating the Freemason triune circles of eternity which indicates abbreviations are to follow. [4] On the obverse, the Crowned bust of Elizabeth I is facing left, inside a beaded circle, with an abbreviated Latin legend: ELIZAB.D.G.ANG:FR:ET:HIB:REGI: Which translates to: Elizabeth by the Grace of God Queen of England, France, and Ireland. Over the bust, we see a six-pointed star. The six-pointed star is a frequent motif in Freemason architecture and embellishment. It is typically rendered as two triangles, one up and the other down, but connecting the points through the center reveals this line-drawn star. [5] In the field behind the Queen, we see what could be a Freemason square and compass, a more familiar Freemason motif representing the Freemason fraternity members desire to live a decent and moral life represented by the square and the compass. Of course, these are not the only scratches on this coin. There are other markings on the obverse. Is this coin one of the first Freemason-marked coins? Thats for you to decide.
