| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Rider coinage of James III represents Scotland's first significant gold issue in decades, introduced partly to align Scottish denominations with the gold currencies circulating in the Low Countries trade networks. The Type II was distinguished from its predecessor by subtle modifications to the die workmanship, though both types circulated concurrently and were treated as interchangeable by merchants.
James III's reign was financially turbulent — he debased the billon coinage so aggressively that Parliament lodged formal complaints in 1482, the same year he was briefly imprisoned by his own nobility at Lauder Bridge.
