| Reverse description | A crowned rampant lion passant to the sinister occupies the central field, rendered in the bold, stylised manner characteristic of Scottish hammered coinage of the period. The lion is depicted with raised forepaws and curled tail, its crown clearly visible above. The date appears within the surrounding legend, which is separated by pellet stops. The irregular flan and variable strike are consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the mid-sixteenth century. |
