| Reverse description | A long cross pattée extending to the beaded inner circle divides the reverse into four quarters, with three pellets in two alternate quarters and a fleur-de-lis in the remaining two alternate quarters. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the mint name and devotional legend arranged in Latin uncial characters within the outer field. The overall composition is typical of Scottish groat coinage of the period, with the cross serving as the principal decorative and functional element of the design. |
