Coin (obverse), penny, from reign of Robert I ('the Bruce')This is the obverse of a silver penny minted between 1318 and 1329, possibly at Berwick, during the reign of Robert I ('The Bruce'). The coin was worth one penny Scots. The obverse bears a crowned head with a sceptre. The Latin inscription translates as: 'Robert, by the Grace of God'. It is thought that no coins were issued in Robert's name until shortly before 1320 - 14 years after he had inherited the throne. The minting of Robert I coins at this time may have been linked to the recovering of Berwick by the Scots from the English. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
