| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of James V, depicted with a draped mantle and a single-arched crown, rendered in the flat, stylised manner characteristic of early sixteenth-century Scottish hammered coinage. The bust occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend in Latin reads IACOBVS : 5 : DEI : GRA : REX : SCOTOR, identifying the king by name, numeral, and royal title. Lettering is in gothic-influenced characters separated by pellet stops. The overall portrait is schematic rather than naturalistic, consistent with the artistic conventions of the period. |
