Coin (obverse), lion, from reign of Robert IIIThis is the obverse 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 obverse bears a large crowned shield with the Royal Arms of Scotland. The Latin inscription translates as: 'Robert, by the Grace of God, King of Scots'. This is the first Scottish coin to bear a design influenced by the French coinage rather than the English. The legend and the fleur-de-lys motif on the reverse were copied from French coins.
