(zecca della Scozia) 1555 – 1562 Master-coiner [EN] Il Forrer (1902-30, I, p. 20) riporta: His family is said to have been connected with the coinage for nearly a century (1525-1620). This artist executed the dies for most of the coins of Mary; the only medal which can be attributed with certainty to him is a silver jeton, or pattern for a half-testoon of 1553, with bust of Mary on obv. and shield of Scotland, between M-R on R/. The type of this piece was afterwards adopted for gold Ryals, issued in 1555. The coins engraved by John Acheson are the Testoon with crowned heads of Francis and Mary (2 var.), the twelve-penny Groats or Nonsunts of 1558 and 1559, and Testoons of 1561 and 1362, struck during Mary's first widowhood, also patterns of Two-and-One-Merk pieces of James VI.
