| Reverse description | The central field presents an equestrian effigy of King James III in full armour, mounted on a caparisoned horse proceeding to the left, with the king's right arm raised and brandishing an unsheathed sword. The horse is depicted in a vigorous, animated pose with its legs in motion. The royal rider wears a crown above his helmet, asserting his sovereignty. The encircling legend in Gothic uncial script, separated from the inner field by a beaded border, reads SALVVM : FAC : POPVLVM : TVVM : DOMNE, invoking divine protection for the Scottish people. |
