| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, Saint Andrew is depicted crucified upon a saltire cross, rendered in frontal view with his arms outstretched and bound to the diagonal arms of the cross, his nimbed head bowed slightly. To either side of the saint, in the angles of the saltire, appear crowned fleur-de-lis, serving as heraldic supporters flanking the central martyrdom scene. The circumscription in uncial Gothic lettering reads XPC REGNAT XPC VINCIT XPC IMPERAT, divided around the outer legend between the beaded border and the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
James II's second coinage emerged from a reign defined by aggressive territorial consolidation and the systematic destruction of the Black Douglases, whose power James broke permanently at Stirling in 1452 — stabbing the 8th Earl himself. The crown's financial demands during this period drove successive recoinage programs, with the Lion series adjusted in weight and fineness as bullion supplies fluctuated. Sp#5222 distinguishes the Type II issue from its predecessor primarily through subtle die differences in the lettering and stops, distinctions that were invisible to most contemporary users but matter considerably to attribution today.
