| Reverse description | A long voided cross extends to the inner beaded circle, dividing the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing a five-pointed star with a small pellet or annulet at its centre, a device characteristic of Robert II's Scottish pennies. The treatment of the stars in each quadrant is bold and angular, consistent with the hammered technique of the period. A beaded inner circle contains the central cross design, while the circumferential legend in uncial Latin characters, reading VILLA DE PERTH, identifies the mint town and runs between the inner and outer beaded borders. The overall design follows the established pattern of Scottish medieval pennies, adapting the long-cross reverse type to incorporate the distinctive star motifs associated with this reign. |
