| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing crowned effigy of King Robert II within a double tressure flory-counterflory, the decorative border featuring alternating fleurs rendered in the Gothic style typical of late 14th-century Scottish coinage. Saltires are positioned in the angles of the tressure. The royal portrait is rendered in a stylised, somewhat crude hammered fashion characteristic of the period, with the king's features and crown visible in low relief. The surrounding legend is inscribed in uncial Latin characters between two concentric circles. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Robert II, the first Stewart king, came to the throne in 1371 aged 55 — already an old man by medieval standards — and his coinage reflects the administrative inconsistencies of a reign marked by weak central authority and ongoing friction with the nobility. The Scottish groat series under Robert II drew directly from English groat conventions established by Edward III, a deliberate signal of parity that Scotland's monetary position could not entirely support.
Spink 5134 encompasses several distinct die varieties distinguished primarily by the arrangement of stops and the spelling of the king's name across different issuing periods. Edinburgh was the principal mint, though Perth also struck during this reign.
