| Obverse description | Uncrowned bust of King Alexander II facing left, rendered in a stylised medieval manner typical of Scottish hammered coinage of the period. The effigy occupies the central field, with the king's facial features and hair indicated by bold, somewhat crude die-cut strokes. A circular legend surrounds the bust, partially visible on the flan's irregular edge. The coin's condition shows characteristic die wear and flan irregularity consistent with 13th-century hammered silver production. |
