1 Penny - David I Period C

David I's monetary reforms drew heavily on English practice — unsurprising given that he had spent years at the court of Henry I and held the earldom of Huntingdon. The Scottish penny of this period was effectively modeled on contemporary English sterlings, sharing weight standards and broad stylistic conventions, though struck at a handful of Scottish mints including Berwick, Roxburgh, and Edinburgh. Period C issues are distinguished from earlier groups by specific cross and pellet die arrangements catalogued by scholars working from surviving hoards, most notably material from the 1953 Prestwick find.
