Description: | A silver voided long-cross cut halfpenny struck of Alexander III of Scotland struck in the period 1250-1280. The coin is a cut half and has been bent back upon itself, obscuring most of the obverse. The form of the bust is uncertain but the lettering '[ ]ND[ ]' is visible. The reverse is a voided Long Cross with six-pointed stars in each quarter. It reads '[ ] ER [ ]D [ ]' which makes it likely to originate in the mint of Aberdeen. The size is difficult to measure, given its folded form, but it is 13.24mm in length, 11.04mm in width, 2.96mm in height (including the bent section), 0.68mm in thickness and weighs 0.56g.
