| Reverse description | A bold ornate cross pattée divides the field into four quarters, with a saltire (St. Andrew's Cross) incuse at the centre of the cross. Each quarter contains a crown, referencing the royal authority of the Scottish crown. The design is typical of late 15th to early 16th century Scottish billon issues, with the cross serving as both a religious and civic symbol. The mint name legend in uncial Latin letters runs around the periphery, identifying Edinburgh as the place of issue. |
