Coin (reverse), lion, from reign of Robert IIIThis is the reverse of a gold lion minted at Edinburgh sometime between 1390 and 1406, during the reign of Robert III. The coin was worth five shillings Scots. The reverse bears an image of St Andrew, Scotland's Patron Saint with a fleur-de-lys at either side. The Latin inscription translates as: 'God is my Defender and my Redeemer'. Gold lions and half-lions were introduced under Robert III. They bear no mint names but like all succeeding gold coinages are thought to have been struck only in Edinburgh. Robert III also had mints at Aberdeen, Perth and Dumbarton.
