| Obverse description | Crude hammered effigy of King William I facing left, depicting a bearded bust holding a sceptre topped with a cross pommée. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic schematic style of late 12th-century Scottish coinage, with bold linear features typical of the period. A Latin legend surrounds the central device, though worn examples frequently render the inscription partially illegible. The overall design reflects the Anglo-Norman artistic conventions prevalent in Scottish royal coinage of this era. |
