| Obverse description | Facing right youthful crowned effigy of King Alexander III, rendered in the crude but expressive hammered style typical of 13th-century Scottish coinage. The king's portrait is depicted with visible facial features including an eye and ear, surmounted by a simple crown. The bust is set within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by the royal legend. The overall style reflects the influence of contemporary English short-cross and long-cross penny coinage. |
