| Obverse description | Facing bust of King James III, crowned with a prominent trefoil crown, his long flowing hair falling to either side of his shoulders and a draped collar visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in the late medieval Gothic style typical of Scottish hammered coinage, with a somewhat stylised facial treatment. The bust is centrally positioned within the field, enclosed by an inner beaded circle. The circumscribed legend in uncial Latin reads IACOBVS . DEI · GRA : REX : SCOTOR, identifying the king by name and royal title, and is separated from the toothed outer border by the beaded circle. |
