Description: Cut farthing of the short cross and stars issue of William I (the Lion) of Scotland. This issue continued to be struck for some time after William’s death in 1214.

The obverse legend is apparently blundered, as the string, EN, does not occur in the normal legend, LE REI WILAM and its variants. Blundered legends are not uncommon in this series.

Description: Alexander III of Scotland, first coinage (long cross and stars) penny of Berwick.

Interestingly, the reverse of the coin has pierced mullets of the type used on coins of the second coinage, rather than the usual solid stars found on those of the first coinage. The coin is of Type VIII, the last type of the 1st coinage, so the use of mullets, whether deliberate or accidental, would seem to be associated with the transition. The coin is possibly a die-duplicate of Burns 84A (see Image 4).
