| Reverse description | A bold voided cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a crescent with a central pellet and flanking stalks, serving as the defining motif of this Crescent and Pellet coinage type. The crescents are positioned with their horns facing outward within each quarter, and the pellets are centrally placed within the crescent's arc. The cross terminates at the inner border, which is composed of a beaded or cable design consistent with Scottish hammered coinage of the period. A Latin legend encircles the design, typically naming the moneyer responsible for striking the piece. The overall execution reflects the characteristic irregularity of hand-struck medieval Scottish pennies. |
