Coin (obverse), halfpenny, from reign of James IThis is the obverse of a billon halfpenny minted at Edinburgh between 1424 and 1437 during the reign of James I. The obverse bears a crowned bust. The Latin inscription translates as: 'James, by the Grace of God, King of Scots'. When he inherited the crown, James I was a prisoner in England. He did not return to Scotland until 1424 and few if any of his coins are thought to have been struck before then. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
