| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned bust of Robert II, holding a sceptre in the right hand; a six-pointed star (mullet) appears at the base of the sceptre. The effigy is rendered in a schematic medieval style typical of hammered Scottish coinage. The surrounding legend, separated by pellets, reads in uncial Latin characters. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | A long voided cross divides the reverse into four quarters, each containing a six-pointed mullet (star), with a small annulet or pellet at the centre of the cross. The design is characteristic of the Scottish long-cross penny series, intended to facilitate halving and quartering. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the mint legend in uncial Latin characters running in the outer field. The flan is irregular and shows typical hammered production characteristics. |
