| Reverse description | Central field bears the municipal arms of Edinburgh, depicted as a shield charged with a castle, rendered in a bold hammered style. The shield is set within the coin's field and flanked by floral or pellet ornaments. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, and a circular Latin legend identifying the town of Edinburgh runs around the periphery, partially visible due to the irregular flan. The overall style is consistent with mid-sixteenth-century Scottish civic coinage struck at the Edinburgh Mint. |
