What do you think of this Scots 1 Plack coin?

There is a reference to King James in the inscription,but which one is it referring to?

There can only be 4 possibilities.

I picked up this coin around 10 years ago for basically scrap bullion value over here in New Zealand.

Please let me know what you think.

I'm not certain, but I'm leaning towards James III. Does the shield on the obverse have a cross pattee to the side (James III) or a small crown (James IV)?

Robert,
  I can't tell which one it is,as my eyesight is not as good as it used to be.

Are you long-sighted? I have very poor sight myself, but it's as sharp as anything at six inches! I can't tell for certain from the images.
