| Obverse description | Crude right-facing crowned effigy of King David I, depicted in a stylised bust with a sceptre held before him. The portrait is rendered in the primitive Romanesque hammered style typical of early Scottish coinage, with facial features summarily indicated and regal regalia suggested rather than precisely detailed. A beaded or dotted border encircles the field. The overall execution reflects the hand-cut dies characteristic of twelfth-century Scottish mint practice. |
