| 裏面の説明 | A long cross divides the reverse into four quadrants, each containing a six-pointed star or mullet, a distinctive feature of the Edinburgh mint issues of Robert II. The cross extends to the beaded inner circle, with the quadrants filled by the mullet ornaments in typical Scottish medieval penny style. The surrounding legend VILLA EDINBVRGH, identifying the town of Edinburgh as the mint, is inscribed in uncial Latin lettering between the inner and outer beaded borders. The flat, hand-struck fields exhibit natural die wear and surface irregularities consistent with hammered production. |

Robert II, the first Stewart king, inherited a Scottish coinage system already debased by decades of English occupation and ransom payments — most notoriously the 100,000 marks demanded for David II's release after Neville's Cross. His silver pennies were struck at reduced fineness relative to earlier issues, a deliberate policy reflecting both depleted bullion reserves and the need to maintain enough coin in circulation to function as a working currency across a fragmented kingdom.
Spink 5146 encompasses issues from Edinburgh and Perth mints across nearly two decades of output. Attribution between the two mints depends on subtle lettering differences that specialists still occasionally dispute.
