| Reverse description | Central field depicts a crowned figure, likely representing the Virgin Mary enthroned or a stylised royal effigy, flanked by attendant heraldic devices, all struck in low hammered relief on a worn billon flan. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, beyond which the circumscription : VILLA : DE : EDINBVRG (Town of Edinburgh) runs in Gothic Latin lettering with pellet stops, identifying Edinburgh as the issuing mint. The reverse design is characteristic of the civic coinage type associated with Edinburgh during the reign of James V, with the irregular flan edge typical of hammered production of this period. |
