| Reverse description | Long cross pattée extending to the coin's beaded outer border, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing three pellets or mullets arranged in a triangular pattern. This voided long cross design is characteristic of the Scottish pennies of Alexander III's first coinage. The peripheral legend in uncial Latin characters names the moneyer and mint of issue, varying by workshop. The design follows the broad tradition of contemporary Anglo-Scottish pennies of the mid-to-late 13th century. |
