Description: | A silver hammered penny of Alexander III (1249 - 1286). This coin dates from 1280 - 1286 and is from the second coinage, Class Mb. Mint not known (see below). Obverse shows a bust in profile facing left with a sceptre. Obverse legend reads ALEXANDER DEI GRA. The initial cross is of the type described by North, J.J. 1991, Vol.II p.26 fig.15 as 'normal'. Reverse shows a solid long cross with a mullet in each quadrant. Two of the mullets have 6 points each, another mullet has 5 points and another mullet has 7 points. The number and arrangement of points on the mullet possibly indicates the mint - although this mint, 25 points, is unknown. Reverse legend reads REX/SCO/TOR/VM+. Die axis is 9 o'clock.
