Coin (reverse), penny, from reign of David IThis is the reverse of a silver penny minted between 1136 and 1153, possibly at Carlisle, during the reign of David I. The coin was worth one penny Scots. The reverse has a cross fleury superimposed on a saltire pommee. The Latin inscription translates as: 'Richard (the moneyer) at Carlisle'. David I was the first Scottish king to issue coins following his capture of Carlisle, which gave him the city's mint and nearby silver mines. His coins were mostly struck at Carlisle, Berwick and Roxburgh, but there was also a mint at Edinburgh. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
