| Obverse description | A crowned unicorn passant to the right, supporting with its forelegs the royal arms of Scotland — a shield charged with the lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory — enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The mint mark or privy mark appears as 'X' or 'XC' beneath the unicorn in the lower field. The surrounding Latin legend is separated by ornamental stops and runs along the outer border of the flan. |
