Coin (obverse), penny, from reign of David IIThis is the obverse of a silver penny minted at Edinburgh, between 1357 and 1367, during the reign of David II. The coin was worth one penny Scots. The obverse bears a crowned head with a sceptre within a six-arc tressure. The Latin inscription translates as: 'David, by the Grace of God, King of Scots'. David II was the son of Robert I, 'The Bruce'. His reign saw two major coinage innovations: Scotland's first gold coin - the noble - and the introduction of silver groats and half-groats.
