Coin (Obverse), penny, from reign of James IIThis is the obverse of a billon penny minted at Aberdeen between 1451 and 1460, during the reign of James II. The coin was worth one penny Scots. The obverse bears a crowned, unclothed bust. There are saltires flanking the neck. The Latin inscription translates as: 'James, by the Grace of God, King of Scots'. When the throne passed to James he was only seven years old and his earlier coinages continued those of his father. As in his father's reign, the mint often travelled with James on his tours of royal residences. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
