| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a lion rampant is depicted at centre enclosed within a double-lined lozenge (diamond-shaped frame), a characteristic device of the Scottish royal demy coinage. The field between the lozenge and the beaded circle is plain. The surrounding legend, separated by saltire stops, runs in uncial Gothic lettering along the outer margin of the flan, reading IACOBVS DEI GRACIA REX SC, identifying the issuer as James, by the Grace of God, King of Scots. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with mid-fifteenth-century Scottish hammered gold coinage. |
