Coin (reverse), penny, from reign of David IIThis is the reverse 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 reverse has a single long cross with a five-pointed mullet in each angle. The Latin inscription translates as: 'Town of Edinburgh'. 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.
