| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King James II within a beaded inner circle, the monarch depicted with flowing hair to either side and wearing a plain crown with fleurs. The facial features are rendered in a flat, stylised medieval manner characteristic of Scottish hammered coinage of the mid-fifteenth century. A double tressure of rope-work forms the inner border framing the royal effigy. The surrounding legend, separated by mullets and colons, reads IACOBVS DEI GRA REX SCOTTOR VM in uncial Latin lettering. |
