| Beschrijving keerzijde | A long cross extending to the beaded inner circle divides the field into four quarters, with a six-pointed mullet (star) appearing in two diagonally opposite quarters. The design is typical of Scottish hammered halfpennies of the first coinage and follows the broad cross convention inherited from Anglo-Norman monetary tradition. The reverse legend is distributed across the four quadrants in uncial script within the outer beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
David II's first coinage began shortly after his coronation at Scone in 1329, making him the first Scottish king crowned with full papal sanction — a concession extracted from Rome by his father Robert I just before death. The halfpenny issues of this period are among the scarcest products of the Scottish medieval mint at Edinburgh, with surviving examples genuinely rare rather than merely scarce by convention.
Sp#5083 sits at the earliest stratum of David's numismatic output, predating his capture at Neville's Cross in 1346, after which Scottish coinage was effectively suspended for the duration of his eleven-year English imprisonment.
