| Reverse description | A bold long cross extending to the coin's edge divides the reverse field into four quarters, with crowns and cinquefoils (five-petalled flowers) placed alternately in the angles, each within a beaded inner circle. The cross is plain and rectilinear, conforming to the standard design employed on Scottish penny issues of this period. The Latin legend referencing the town of Edinburgh runs around the outer margin, interrupted by the arms of the cross. The overall execution reflects the characteristic irregularity of a hammered billon penny struck at the Edinburgh mint during Mary's first coinage period. |
