| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned facing bust of David II set within a cusped tressure of three arches, the king depicted in three-quarter profile to the left with flowing hair and wearing an ornate crown with a central fleur-de-lis finial. A sceptre is visible to the left of the bust within the inner field. The portrait is rendered in the Gothic style typical of mid-fourteenth century Scottish coinage. The bust is contained within an inner beaded circle, with the outer legend reading DAVID + DEI + GRA + REX + SCOTORVM separated by crosses, running between two concentric circles of beading. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
David II was captured at the Battle of Neville's Cross in 1346 and held in English captivity for eleven years. His second coinage began immediately upon his return in 1357, funded in part by the early installments of his 100,000 mark ransom to Edward III — a debt that shaped Scottish monetary policy for the remainder of his reign. The half groat of Class A represents the opening of that post-captivity recoinage.
Sp 5112 is among the scarcer denominations of this class, with relatively few dies confirmed compared to the groat proper.
