Neatly struck on a round flan, good very fine and rare thus £300-£360 --- Provenance: Bt December 2011 This late group of coins, probably struck c. 1264-70, seems to be exclusive to the moneyer Iohan at Berwick. This example has large lettering, one of a number of letter founts used for the issue, suggesting it was struck over a considerable period of time.

Very fine and extremely rare £240-£300 --- Provenance: Bt A. Gillis November 2014 This is one of only two dies of this type which seem to bring the First issue to a close. This die has a normal initial cross but reads rx, the other has the normal reading rex but no initial cross. Coins of this type are extremely rare. The vendor knows of three coins from this die, including this specimen, reading rx and only one reading rex (Part I, DNW 286, lot 113) that have come on to the market in the last 50 years.
James III (1460-1488), Light issue, 1482, Groat, Edinburgh, mm. cross fleury, tressure of seven arcs, small trefoils on cusps, crown with five spikes, legend ends scotorm, rev. , mullet of five points in first and third, three pellets in second and fourth quarters, reads edenbeovrge, 2.35g/9h (Murray dies 1/c, SCBI 35, 764 and B 21, fig. 604, same obv. die; SCBI 72, 845ff; S 5280A).

Very fine, toned, rare thus £600-£800, --- Provenance: Bt A.D. Hamilton March 1975 The stops on the obverse are often referred to as ‘squashed annulets’. This is the only die in the coinage to use such stops; Burns noting that he had never seen an another such die.
Alexander III (1249-1286), First coinage, Sterling, type VIII, Berwick, Willem, wi ll on ber, tufted crown, 1.62g/12h (SCBI 35, –; B 18a, fig. 95A, same rev. die; S 5048). Reverse slightly off centre, good fine £150-£200 --- Provenance: DNW Auction 58, 24-5 June 2003, lot 639 This variety is one of the earlier issues of type VIII, the obverse die also being used at Perth, which closed well before the end of the coinage.
James I (1406-1437), First Fleur-de-lis issue, Groat, Edinburgh, type IIc, mm. cross pattée, tressure of eight arcs, saltires on shoulders, saltire and i on each side of neck, reads gracia, rev. lis and saltire in first quarter, lis between saltires in third, three pellets in second and fourth quarters, nothing in centre, lis stops with saltire interpunctuation both sides, 1.70g/2h (SCBI 35, –; SCBI 72, 368-9; B –, cf. figs. 431/432A for similar lettering; S 5195).

Charles II (1649-1685), First coinage, Merk, 1674, type III, f below bust, 6.31g/12h (D 25; M 21; SCBI 35, –; B 13, fig. –; S 5612). Fine and rare £100-£150 --- Provenance: J.K.R. Murray Collection, Spink Auction 57, 29 April 1987, lot 390 (part); DNW Auction 104, 5 December 2012, lot 718 (part) Discrepancies arise between the estimated strike suggested by the Mint Registers for this issue and the number of surviving coins. It would seem likely that many of the coins produced during 1674 were struck using old 1673-dated dies. It is not known why the F mintmark for Sir John Falconer was reintroduced at this time to replace the leaved thistle mark.
Robert III (1390-1406), Heavy coinage, First issue, Groat, Edinburgh, mm. cross potent, tressure of seven arcs, trefoils on cusps, lis and crescent stops, rev. three pellets in quarters of cross, lis and crescent stops after dns, villa and rgh, r over s in ptector, 2.92g/4h (cf. SCBI 35, 553-9 for rev.; SCBI 72, 107, same dies; B 10, fig. 353; S 5164A). Slightly small of flan but full weight, very fine or better £200-£300 --- Provenance: Bt Spink June 2000 The obverse of this coin is distinctive in that it has a rounded face unlike the normal bust for the series. The vendor knows of no other die which shows this face.
Charles I (1625-1649), Third coinage, Falconer’s First issue, Twelve Shillings, signed f over crown, 5.77g/9h (Murray p.138, pl. iii, 21, same dies; SCBI 35, 1460-5, same dies; B 24, fig. 1017, same dies; S 5560). Tiny edge split at 2 o’clock, light adjustment marks in places, otherwise good very fine with an attractive portrait £400-£500 --- Provenance: Bt Baldwin March 1999 It seems likely that this issue resulted from the contract drawn up between the Commissioners of the Committee at Edinburgh (the Covenanters) and John Falconer, by now sole Master of the Mint since the return of Briot to England in 1638.
James I (1406-1437), First Fleur-de-lis issue, Groat, Edinburgh, type III, mm. cross pattée, tressure of eight arcs, lis on neck, crosses on each shoulder, saltire to left of bust, i to right and on sceptre handle. reads iacobvs and tracia, rev. lis with pellet in first quarter, lis with saltire in third, three pellets with small central pellet in second and fourth quarters, quarter, centre of cross unclear, lis stops both sides, 2.37g/5h (SCBI 35, –; SCBI 72, 479; B 22, fig. 460, same obv. die; S 5195). Striking split at 2 o’clock and surfaces lightly scratched, otherwise good fine, an extremely rare variety £240-£300 --- Provenance: Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part II, DNW Auction 60, 9-10 December 2003, lot 398; DNW Auction 78, 19 June 2008, lot 526 Three crown punches were in use throughout the issue of type III (Burns style III). Crown 1 was used for most of the issue. Crown 2 was used on only one die with the sceptre to the king’s left and has not been traced on any other die. Crown 3 occurs on four dies produced at the end of the issue (including this one). Although infrequently used the central lis of this crown quickly broke, as can be seen on this coin. This crown could have been composite. The vendor has not traced any other example of this obverse die except for the Burns coin.
Alexander III (1249-1286), First coinage, Sterling, type IIId, Roxburgh, Adam, ad am on ro, 1.54g/4h (cf. SCBI 35, 133; B 27, fig. 124; S 5043). Flat on one edge, very fine £200-£300 --- Provenance: From the Colchester II (Essex) Hoard, 1969; bt D.L. Cavanagh July 1999 Roxburgh was one of the more important First coinage mints - representing 8% of the coins in the Brussels hoard, as many as 13% in Colchester II.

B 4, fig. 344; S 5164). Tiny striking crack, better than very fine, toned £240-£300 --- Provenance: Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part II, DNW Auction 60, 9-10 December 2003, lot 376 This obverse die is from early in the main coinage. The vendor points out that coins with final stops in the obverse legend are much scarcer than those without; and wonders what significance, if any, this might have.
Robert III (1390-1406), Heavy coinage, First issue, Groat, Edinburgh, mm. cross potent, tressure of seven arcs, trefoils on cusps, lis and crescent stops, rev. three pellets in quarters of cross, lis and crescent stops after dns, villa and rgh, 2.67g/6h (cf. SCBI 35, 553-9 for rev.; SCBI 72, 101, same obv. die; B 10, fig. 353; S 5164A). Very fine or better, the variety rare £200-£300 --- Provenance: BT D. Cavanagh June 1986

Edge chip and crack between 11 and 1 o’clock, otherwise better than very fine, toned, rare £600-£800 --- Provenance: Bt Spink July 1978 The obverse die, fairly heavily used at Edinburgh, was also used briefly at Berwick.
