Description: | Medieval Silver penny of Robert de Bethune (Count of Flanders, AD1305-22). N Mayhew argues "The Alost profile sterling seems to come first. It is tempting to spectulate that the 'Scottish' profile type was adopted to accentuate the similarity of the coins of Robert Bruce and Robert of Bethune, with their shared Christian name. But it seems clear that the Flanders sterlind came before the Bruce issue, as it is present in the Whittonstall hoard c. 1311. Nevertheless the Bruce penny in the early Upper Cullmore hoard should be noted. Type 209 is probably the earliest of Robert de Bethune's sterling issues." Mayhew 1983, 82.
