| Additional information |
David II resumed personal rule after his release from English captivity in 1357 — ransomed for 100,000 merks under the Treaty of Berwick — and the reopening of the Scottish mints was an immediate political priority. The 2nd coinage reflects monetary reforms tied directly to that ransom obligation, as Scotland needed functioning coin to begin meeting the staggered payments demanded by Edward III.
Class C is distinguished from the earlier classes by specific pellet and annulet arrangements in the legend stops, details that matter considerably for accurate attribution within this reign's complex sequence.
