| Reverse description | A bold voided long cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, extending to the coin's edge in the characteristic style of late 13th-century Scottish hammered coinage. A six-pointed mullet (star) is placed in each of the second and third quarters, serving as a distinguishing mintmark feature of this issue. The surrounding uncial legend names the mint city of St Andrews, contained within a beaded border. The cross design follows the established tradition of English and Scottish pennies of the period, adapted here for the halfpenny denomination. |
