1 Penny - William I Phase B

William I of Scotland — "William the Lion" — died in 1214, meaning the earlier part of this issue's date range falls within his reign and the later portion under Alexander II. Phase B of the Scottish penny series corresponds to a transitional coinage period when the Edinburgh and Berwick mints were among the most active, though attributing individual pieces to specific mints remains difficult without clear mint signatures. The Scottish penny was deliberately struck to match the weight standard of contemporary English sterlings, reflecting the complex political dependency that followed William's capitulation at the Treaty of Falaise in 1174.
