| Obverse description | Facing crowned bust of King Alexander III in high relief, rendered in the bold, somewhat stylised manner characteristic of late 13th-century Scottish hammered coinage. The king wears a simple crown with fleurs-de-lis and is depicted with a frontal face showing schematic facial features. A beaded inner circle surrounds the portrait, with the peripheral legend ALEXANDER DEI GRA inscribed in uncial characters between the inner and outer borders of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Long voided cross extending to the edge of the coin, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing three six-pointed mullets (stars) arranged in a triangular pattern around a central pellet — a design diagnostic of the Class Ma coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the cross, and the peripheral legend REX SCOTORVM is inscribed in uncial characters between the inner and outer borders of the flan. |
