| Obverse description | Front-facing crowned effigy of James II within a beaded inner circle, the bust displaying wavy hair beneath a broad crown surmounted by a prominent tall central fleur-de-lis. The royal mantle frames the portrait, with the bust contained within and not breaching the surrounding mantle. The legend is arranged in Latin uncial characters within the outer field, separated by pellet stops. The overall style is characteristic of Scottish late medieval hammered coinage, with a bold, stylised rendering of the royal portrait. |
