Alexander III (1249-1286), First coinage, Sterling, class VIII, Perth, Rainald, rai nal dde per, tufted crown, 1.07g/12h (SCBI 35, 169 same dies; B –, fig. 103A, same dies; Lockett 776a, same dies; S 5048). Nearly very fine but weak on portrait, very rare £150-£200 --- Provenance: DNW Auction 56, 11 December 2002, lot 266 (part) Perth was the second largest mint at the period but it seems to have closed early in the sequence of type VIII issues, leaving only Berwick to maintain coin production for the next 25 years or so. The reverse reading ‘de’ instead of ‘on’ is rare and unusual and is found on only two dies - both die-linked through a common obverse to the Berwick moneyers Arnold and Walter.
James VI (1567-1625), After Accession, Tenth coinage, Twelve Shillings, mm. thistle-head, reads fran & hib rex, rev. Scottish lion in first and fourth quarters, 5.93g/7h (SCBI 35, 1375; SCBI 71, 1419ff; B 15, fig. 985; S 5506). Good very fine and toned with clear portrait, very rare thus £500-£700 --- Provenance: Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part II, DNW Auction 60, 9-10 December 2003, lot 476 [from Spink October 1970] The vendor knows of five other coins struck from this obverse die and two from the reverse. This is the only traced specimen combining the two.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class B, Groat, Edinburgh, mm. cross potent on obv., cross fourchée on rev., first intermediate bust, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, double crosslet stops, nothing after scotorvm, small d under aed, ornate as on obv., plain a on rev., 3.89g/3h (SCBI 35, –; B 18a, fig. 271A, same obv. die; S 5097). Slightly small of flan, nearly very fine, very rare £200-£260 --- Provenance: DNW Auction 67, 28 September 2005, lot 1111 This coin belongs to an unpublished ‘Cross-Fourchy’ sub-group of David II coins (Groats, Halfgroats and Pennies) which seems to have been produced between the end of Class B and the beginning of Class C. Extensive research by the vendor, done over a number of years and based mainly on letter forms and fonts, places these coins with their forked initial crosses in the period c. 1364. It is clear that Groups A and B and Groups C and D form two distinct and discreet groups, with no overlap in portrait, crown or letter punches. This corresponds with the change of mintmaster in Edinburgh, with James Mulekyn leaving and being replaced by Bonagius of Florence who probably left his post at the English mint at Durham in 1363. During this changeover period, the Cross Fourchy coins seem to have been produced at a time when a person or persons unknown were overseeing coin production, apparently on fairly ad-hoc basis. Old dies were used or re-used, new dies were somewhat carelessly made from a large number of varied letter punches. Reverses so far identified include some early class A dies, 3 normal class B dies and 12 marked with the fourchy mint mark. These pair with Burns 1st Intermediate obverse dies 268 and 271a, B.271 being an example; four new Cross Fourchy obverse dies with varied portraits, three of these having a mullet after the legend leading Burns to include B261 in Class A; and the Burns 254a obverse, previously thought to only have been used at Aberdeen but now known to have been used in a somewhat dilapidated state at Edinburgh only during the Cross Fourchy series with a Cross Fourchy reverse die and an old, reused Class A reverse. Some lettering from Class B is found on the Cross Fourchy dies, the T and O positioning this group after the final Class B dies, but other letter punches unique to this small series vary almost on a die-to-die basis.
Alexander III (1249-1286), Second coinage, Sterling, class D2, mm. cross potent, straight-sided lettering, bust left, rev. long cross, four mullets of six points in angles, 1.46g/1h (SCBI 35, 200; B 27a, fig. 158A; S 5057). Better than very fine with a strong portrait £100-£120 --- Provenance: bt A. Gillis August 2001
Alexander III (1249-1286), First coinage, Sterling, ‘post-Brussels A’, Berwick, Iohan, ioh an on ber, pelleted hair (two rows), pellet after rex, 1.34g/1h (SCBI 35, –; cf. B 15, fig. 91; cf. S 5048). Neatly struck on a round flan (this slightly buckled), good very fine and rare thus £300-£360 --- Provenance: DNW Auction 145, 13-14 March 2018, lot 498 This is a rare issue which post-dates the deposit of the Brussels hoard in the mid-1260s and seems to be exclusive to the moneyer Iohan striking at Berwick. Lord Stewartby in various articles detailed a sequence of varied styles, busts and letter forms found on Alexander III 1st Coinage pennies, Types 1 - VIII. These types derive from the study of the Brussels Hoard. This rare issue, found in neither the Brussels or the Colchester Hoards, he designated Post Brussels A. The portrait and crown vary markedly from coins of the earlier series and appear to partly derive from continental copies of earlier Scottish sterlings.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class D, Halfgroat, class D, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, third intermediate bust, tressure of six arcs and a segment, nothing in spandrels, crosslet stops, reads seotorvm, nothing at end of legend, double crosslet after mevs, ornate a both sides, 2.05g/1h (cf. SCBI 35, 400; B –, fig. –; cf. S 5109). Very fine or better but slight double strike on reverse, dark tone £200-£260 --- Provenance: bt November 2017 While the conventional Class C identification is based on the portrait alone, research by the vendor on lettering and punches shows that this coin is contemporary with the class D Groats and Pennies - the most distinctive letter being the t, but also a, e and m.
James VI (1567-1625), After Accession, Ninth coinage, Twelve Shillings, mm. thistle-head, reads fran et hib rex, rev. Scottish lion in second quarter only, 5.81g/11h (SCBI 35, 1364; SCBI 71, 1385ff; B 2, fig. 974; S 5505). Generally better than fine but smoothed on portrait, very rare £150-£200 --- This issue is very rare.
James V (1513-1542), Second coinage, Groat, Holyrood Abbey mint, type IIIc (ii), bust right with wide-collared mantle, smooth chain and single-arched crown, seven jewels to band, strawberry-leaf decorations, two pellets in field above left shoulder, rev. shield with rounded base, cross-ends E, pelleted v in oppidv, trefoil stops both sides, 2.71g/4h (SCBI 35, 927, same obv. die; SCBI 58, 90; SCBI 71, 388 and B 8, fig. 712, same obv. die; S 5378). Good very fine with an attractive portrait £500-£700 --- Provenance: bt ABC Coins and Tokens January 2010 As in the contemporary English series, the gradual and somewhat haphazard changeover from Lombardic to Roman lettering takes place during this period. This obverse, found paired with no less than 13 reverse dies, shows the Gothic letter D for the last time as well as the two-pellet privy mark in the field.
William the Lion (1165-1214), Short Cross and Stars coinage, Phase B, Sterling, Phase B, no mint name, Hue Walter, crude bust left, le rei wilam, rev. hve walter :·, short voided cross, four stars of five points in angles, 1.48g/8h (cf. SCBI 35, 65; B 15, fig. 52; S 5029). About very fine £200-£260 --- Provenance: bt A.D. Hamilton July 1981 Coins of this type have a very distinctive portrait with a triple row of pellets running from the forehead to the neck. It looks so different from previous representations of the king’s hair (as well as contrasting with the beard), it may actually be intended to represent chain-mail which was often formed into a hood.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Sterling, class A, Edinburgh, small young bust with sloping shoulder, saltire stops on obv., 1.04g/12h (SCBI 35, 403-4, same obv. die; B 1, fig. 266, same obv. die; S 5114). Very fine, portrait better, old cabinet toning £200-£260 --- Provenance: bt A.D. Hamilton April 1985 Datable to soon after the introduction of the Second coinage c. 1357
James V (1513-1542), Second coinage, Groat, Holyrood Abbey mint, type IIa (i), bust right with wide-collared mantle and single-arched crown, twelve jewels to band, annulet above r of gra, rev. shield with angled and pointed base, cross-ends A, reads edinbvrgi, double annulet stops both sides, 2.59g/9h (SCBI 35, 916, same obv. die; SCBI 58, 53; SCBI 71, 358; B 19, fig. 720, same obv. die; S 5377, this coin illustrated). Small metal flaw on shoulder, a few light surface marks, otherwise good very fine or better on a full flan, extremely rare thus £1,200-£1,500 --- Provenance: H.A. Parsons Collection, Part II, Glendining Auction, 11-13 May 1954, lot 729; R. Carlyon-Britton Collection; J.K.R. Murray Collection, Spink Auction 57, 29 April 1987, lot 172; L.M. LaRiviere Collection, Spink Auction 179, 29 March 2006, lot 89; Spink Auction 230, 15 July 2015, lot 455 Stevenson has suggested that that the Groats of type II resulted from Achesoun’s second contract in November 1526. The portrait used in the early stages of the groat coinage is notable in that it can bear no possible resemblance to the King himself, who was only 14 years old at the time.
