| Reverse description | A crowned rampant lion passant-guardant occupies the central field, depicted in the heraldic style characteristic of the Scottish royal arms, with the beast shown in profile facing left, one forepaw raised. The peripheral legend, struck in Roman capitals, reads · VICIT · VERITAS · 1558, incorporating the mint date. The design is contained within the irregular hammered flan, with the legend partially visible around the circumference due to the nature of the striking technique. |
