David II's second coinage followed his return from English captivity in 1357, financed by a ransom of 100,000 merks — a sum so staggering that Scotland's burghs were still collecting it decades later. Class C within this coinage is distinguished by specific pellet arrangements in the spandrels, placing it among the more precisely catalogued varieties of this issue. The Edinburgh and Aberdeen mints both contributed to production, though attribution of individual pieces to a specific mint remains contested among specialists.
