Coin (reverse), demy, from reign of Robert IIIThis is the reverse of a gold demy minted at Edinburgh sometime between 1390 and 1406, during the reign of Robert III. The coin was worth two shillings and six pence Scots. The reverse has a saltire with a fleur-de-lys on either side and trefoils above and below. The Latin inscription translates as: 'Christ Reigns, Christ Conquers, Christ Commands'. The reign of Robert III saw the introduction of gold lions and half-lions. These coins 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.
