Description: | A Scottish medieval silver penny of Alexander III (AD 1249-1286). This coin is of Alexander's second issue, minted between 1280 and 1286, in imitation of Edward I's long cross coinage. This example measures 19.5mm in diameter, 0.7mm in thickness, and 1.3g in mass. It is slightly damaged, with some edges clipped, and a little post-depositional deformation, but is otherwise in excellent condition, with very little wear.
Obverse: Crowned bust left / Alexander Dei Gra
Reverse: Long cross with six-pointed mullets/ Rex Scotorum
