| 背面描述 | Long cross pattée extending to the coin's edge, dividing the field into four quadrants, each containing a small pierced mullet (six-pointed star) arranged around a central ornament within a beaded inner circle. The quadrants are further adorned with additional small mullets, creating a symmetrical and decorative composition characteristic of Scottish groats of this period. Two concentric legends are separated by a beaded circle: the inner legend contains the religious motto and the outer legend names the mint. The overall design closely follows English groat prototypes of the same era. |

David II returned from English captivity in 1357 after eleven years as a prisoner following his capture at Neville's Cross in 1346 — the ransom set at 100,000 merks, payable in installments. The groat coinage begun immediately after his release was part of a broader effort to restore functional royal finances to a kingdom that had been governed piecemeal in his absence.
Class B is distinguished from Class A primarily by annulet stops in the legends, a detail catalogued by Spink and significant for attribution but easily missed without direct comparison.
