| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned bust of King David II within a tressure of arches, the effigy depicted in a stylised medieval manner characteristic of hammered Scottish coinage. A star appears in the field behind the king's head, serving as a mint or privy mark. The bust is rendered with a crown of fleurs-de-lis and the king's features shown in profile. The surrounding legend is contained between two beaded circles. The overall style reflects the transitional artistic conventions of mid-fourteenth-century Scottish die engraving. |
