Description: | A worn silver short cross cut halfpenny of Scottish 'Short Cross and Stars' issue, probably of William I, c. AD 1199- 1230. It is possible to detect traces of the obverse bust with pelleted hair and linear nose suggesting William I, but the legend is illegible. Likewise, the remaining portion of the reverse shows a voided short cross with a five-pointed star in two quadrants, and the letter E in the legend. Cf. Spink (2003) 'Coins of Scotland, Ireland and the Islands', pp. 13-14, nos. 5027-5033.
