Coin (reverse), penny, from reign of James IVThis is the reverse of a billon penny minted at Edinburgh between 1496 and 1513, during the reign of James IV. The coin was worth one penny Scots. The reverse has a single long cross with a fleur-de-lys in the 1st and 3rd quarters, and a crown in the 2nd and 4th. The Latin inscription translates as: 'Town of Edinburgh'. James IV's coins were mainly continuations of the types issued during the previous reign. Those stylistic changes that did occur were largely backward-looking. No attempt was made to follow James III's example of using a realistic portrait. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
