John Baliol (1292-1296), First coinage, Sterling, without mint name (probably Berwick), mm. cross pattée, small irregular lettering, crude bust left, rev. long cross, four mullets of six points in angles, 1.41g/6h (Stewartby and Holmes 13/at; SCBI 35, 300, same dies; B 1, fig. 210, same dies; S 5065). Nearly very fine for issue, rare £200-£260 --- Provenance: bt November 2004 In the opinion of the vendor ‘it seems likely that this First coinage was actually issued under Baliol, while the Second coinage is much more problematic’. The first coinage is a continuation of, and die-links with, Alexander’s type J which, like type H, was probably posthumous, being issued c. 1286-92. A mullet punch with a broken point, used on Baliol’s first coinage Sterlings (B 210A and 210B) is also found on some type J reverses [see previous lot].

John Baliol (1292-1296), Second coinage, Sterling, without mint name (possibly Aberdeen), larger lettering of better style, bust left, rev. long cross, two mullets and two stars of five points in angles, 1.37g/1h (Stewartby and Holmes 30/bh; SCBI 35, 306, same dies; B 18, fig. 221, same obv, die; S 5071). Good fine, toned, rare £150-£200 --- Provenance: bt June 2013 With the loss of Berwick to the English in 1296, St Andrews remained a mint in the second coinage. However it is the vendor’s belief that ‘the Second coinage resulted from a new administration, set up at the time of the guardianship of Wallace and [much of it] was issued from a northern mint, probably Aberdeen’.
Robert the Bruce (1306-1329), Sterling, mm. cross pattée, bust left of fine style, colon stops, rev. long cross, four mullets of five points in angles, 1.42g/1h (Holmes/Stewartby 4-u; SCBI 35, 318-320; B 1, fig. 225; S 5076). Good very fine, toned, very rare thus £1,200-£1,500 --- Provenance: bt July 2013 Hoard evidence strongly suggests that there was no coinage under Robert the Bruce until sometime shortly after the recovery of Berwick (and its operational mint) in 1318. Stylistic connections and the high standard of workmanship suggests that experienced moneyers were brought in from the Continent, probably Flanders, to produce a coinage in keeping with Bruce’s concern with the status and dignity of the Scottish crown.
David II (1329-1371), First coinage, First issue, Halfpenny, mm. cross pattée, bust left with sceptre, david : dei : gra : rex, ornate as, rev. +re x : sc oto rvm, mullet of five points in second and third quarters, 0.50g/7h (Holmes/Stewartby Dd; SCBI –; B 1, fig. 248, same dies; S 5082). Full and round, good very fine and extremely rare thus £1,200-£1,500 --- Provenance: bt J. Philpotts June 2020 Just as in England, a dearth of silver being brought to the mint meant that no pennies were struck for two decades from c. 1330. They were replaced by a coinage consisting of Halfpence and Farthings which are rare and sought after today. Their dating is uncertain, perhaps corresponding to the English issues of the 1330s, more likely after David’s return to Scotland in the early 1340s.
David II (1329-1371), First coinage, Second issue, Sterling, mm. cross pattée, bust left with sceptre, large composite lettering, rev. rex sco tor vm+, long cross, four mullets of six points in angles, large lettering, 1.16g/5h (Savage 1/aa; Burns/Dakers Bust 1/Dakers Reverse 1; SCBI –; B 1, 2, 3, figs. 229, 230, same obv. die; cf. S 5087). Very fine or better, very rare £150-£200 --- Provenance: CNG e-Auction 377, 29 June 2016, lot 719 Although there are no documentary records, it would seem likely that the Second issue of David’s reign began around the same time as the English recoinage of 1351. The first type of the new issue has large composite lettering on both sides.
David II (1329-1371), First coinage, Second issue, Sterling, mm. cross pattée, bust left with sceptre, smaller lettering, pellet after david, rosette after dei, rev. rex sco tto rvm, long cross, four mullets of six points in angles, smaller lettering, 1.09g/8h (Savage 2/ae; Burns/Dakers Bust 2/Dakers Reverse 3; SCBI 351, same dies; B 7, fig. 233, same dies; S 5088). Very fine or better but weak in places, toned, very rare £150-£200 --- Provenance: Capt. C.H. Dakers Collection, Glendining Auction, 8-9 October 1946, lot unspecified; Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part I, DNW Auction 59, 7 October 2003, lot 831 (part); bt ABC Coins and Tokens December 2003 The large letter issue is scarce and was apparently soon followed by coins with small uniform lettering made from single punches, Mules are known between the two types.
William the Lion (1165-1214), Short Cross and Stars coinage, Phase B, Sterling, Phase B, no mint name, Walter Adam, crude bust left with sceptre, willem imvn:, rev. walter : adam :, voided short cross, four stars of six points in angles, 1.40g/9h (Jones & Sugden dies 5-L; SCBI 35, 84, same obv. die; cf. B 31b, fig. 66A, same obv. die; S 5030). Fine, reverse better, very rare £150-£200 --- Provenance: bt May 2009 It is believed that Adam replaced the moneyer Hue towards the end of this coinage at a time when the dies were of poor quality and the legends sometimes virtually unreadable. The obverse die of this coin is found paired with a Hue Walter reverse (B 65A and 66).
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Groat, class A3, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, small young bust, tressure of six arcs, rosettes in spandrels, saltire stops, plain v in david and scotorvm, saltire after villa, 4.62g/5h (SCBI 35, 363, same obv. die; B 6, fig. 252, same rev. die; S 5093). Small die flaw on king’s face, good very fine with old cabinet toning, very rare £400-£500 --- Provenance: bt Spink December 1981 The ornate tressure with rosettes in the spandrels is another indication of some of the early experiments with the new coinage.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Groat, class A4, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, small young bust, tressure of six arcs, pellets in spandrels, double saltire stops, three saltires after scotorvm, r over g in edinbvrgh, 4.44g/1h (SCBI 35, –; B 7, fig. 253, same obv. die; S 5094). Very fine or better, dark tone, rare £300-£400 --- Provenance: bt ABC Coins and Tokens July 2017
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Groat, class A5, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, small young bust, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, saltire stops, double saltires after scotorvm, reads gr’a, 4.52g/2h (cf. SCBI 35, 360 for rev.; B 9, fig. 256; S 5091). Good very fine and attractively toned, rare £300-£400 --- Provenance: Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part II, DNW Auction 60, 9-10 December 2003, lot 355 The gr’a reading is unique to this die.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Groat, class A7, Aberdeen, mm. cross pattée, small young bust, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, crosslet stops, double saltire after scotorvm, double crosslet after villa, 4.40g/4h (cf. SCBI 35, 376; B 15b, fig. 254A, same dies; S 5103). Good fine or better, toned, rare £400-£600 --- Provenance: Dr J. Davidson Collection; bt Spink September 1987
Alexander II (1214-1249), Short Cross and Stars coinage, Phase C, Sterling, in the name of William the Lion, Roxburgh, Peris Adam, head right with sceptre, +willelmvs· rex· :·, rev. peris adam on ro, voided short cross, four stars of six points in angles, 1.47g/3h (Jones & Sugden dies 7-Q; SCBI 35, 80 and B 6b, fig. 67A, same dies; S 5034). Very fine or better for issue, very rare thus £300-£400 --- Provenance: bt Spink February 1982 After the departure of Walter from the coinage, Adam seems to have become the main moneyer, working sometimes alone or in combination with Aimer or Peris, as in this case. These coins can probably be dated to the early to mid 1230s.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Halfgroat, class A, Aberdeen, mm. cross pattée, small young bust, tressure of six arcs and a segment, nothing in spandrels, no stops on obv., saltire after mevs, crosslet after villa, 2.26g/4h (SCBI 35, 401-2; B –, fig. –; S 5112). Better than very fine and very rare, the obverse die without stops unpublished £800-£1,000 --- Provenance: Spink Auction 261, 27-28 March 2019, lot 955 This coin probably fits into the Edinburgh die sequence around A6, at the transition point between saltire and crosslet stops.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Sterling, class A, Edinburgh, small young bust with sloping shoulder, crosslet stops on obv., saltire before vill, 0.98g/10h (SCBI 35, –; B –, fig. –; S 5114). Very fine or better, toned, the variety very rare £200-£260 --- Provenance: DNW Auction 55, 8 October 2002, lot 681 (part); bt Spink December 2002 The vendor points out the use of some rare and unusual letter punches on the reverse of this coin, particularly b, r and g.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class B, Groat, class B3b, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, second intermediate bust, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, crosslet stops after david and rex, double crosslet after dei and scotorvm, nothing after gra, reversed d under aed, ornate as both sides, 4.24g/1h (SCBI 35, –; B 23, fig. 282, same dies; S 5097). Obverse struck from a rusty die, very fine or better, the variety very rare £300-£360 --- Provenance: G.W. de Wit Collection, Part III, Künker Auction 137 (Osnabrück), 11 March 2008, lot 3358 [from Spink 1993]; bt M.R. Vosper September 2008 This coin is from the second phase of the main Class B issue, a group of seven obverse dies, six of which couple with reverses marked with a small d (normal or retrograde) or a crosslet in one of the reverse quarters. The meaning of the d is unknown (perhaps the royal initial?) but it appears in the obverse field of David’s Great Seal.
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.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class B, Groats (2), both class B, Edinburgh, mm. cross fourchée, large young bust, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, crosslet stops, nothing after dei, two saltires after scotorvm, ornate as on obv., plain on rev., saltire after rgh, 4.18g/10h, saltire after villa, 3.23g/3h (cf. SCBI 35, 373 [described as class A]; B –, fig. –; S 5097) [2]. Fair to fine, both very rare varieties £100-£150 --- Provenance: first bt ABC Coins and Tokens June 2020; second DNW Auction 124, 16-17 September 2014, lot 2767
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class B, Sterling, class B, Edinburgh, larger young bust with smaller shoulder, double crosslet after david, single crosslet after rex and scotorvm, saltire before vill, ornate as both sides, 0.90g/7h (SCBI 35, 409; B –, fig. –; S 5115). Good fine, rare £120-£150 --- Provenance: stray metal detector find from Fakenham (Norfolk), 2014
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class B, Sterling, class B, Edinburgh, mm. cross fourchée on obv. only, larger young bust with smaller shoulder, saltire after david, rex and scotorvm, small reversed d under aed, plain as both sides, 1.00g/1h (SCBI 35, –; B –, fig. –; S 5115). Nearly very fine, the variety extremely rare £150-£200 --- Provenance: bt M.R. Vosper May 2003 This is a reused bust punch from the regular series B. The pennies do not always have a letter D in the angles as appears on the Groats, but this specimen clearly does.
Alexander III (1249-1286), First coinage, Sterling, type IIa, Aberdeen, Alisander, alisad’ on· ab, 1.33g/10h (SCBI 35, 92, same obv. die; B 42a, fig. 93a, same obv. die; S 5042). Nearly very fine and rare £300-£400 --- Provenance: stray metal detector find, found near Nottingham, October 2004 This reverse die was used on type II and type III coins of Aberdeen. The vendor notes that at this point in the coinage, the dies were made centrally and distributed to the various mint-towns - SCBI 35, 92, 93 and 96 show virtually identical portraits on coins of Aberdeen, Berwick and Perth.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class D, Groat, class D3, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, ‘Robert II’ head, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, pellet behind crown, double crosslet stops, reads seotorvm, nothing at end of legend, pellet under vill, ornate a on obv., plain a on rev., 3.55g/4h (cf. SCBI 35, 387-9; cf. B 36, fig. 297; S 5101). Slightly off-centre, good very fine, toned, very rare £300-£360 --- Provenance: R.A. Macpherson Collection, DNW Auction 83, 30 September 2009, lot 3994 [from Baldwin September 1988]
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class D, Groat, class D4, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, ‘Robert II’ head, tressure of six arcs, trefoils in spandrels, nothing on sceptre-handle, double crosslet stops, reads seotorvm, nothing at end of legend, ornate a on obv., plain a on rev., 4.06g/8h (cf. SCBI 35, –; cf. B 34, fig. 296 for rev. type; S 5100 var.). Some surface marks and dents, about very fine, the variety extremely rare £200-£300 --- Provenance: bt A. Howitt December 2003 This Class, designated ‘D4’ by the vendor, represents a variety, unpublished by Burns and Stewartby, with trefoils in the spandrels but no star on the sceptre handle. The letter punches used are entirely consistent with Stewart Class D2.
David II (1329-1371), Second/Third Coinage, Class C, Groat, class ‘C-star’, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, third intermediate bust, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, star behind head and after e of edinburgh, double crosslet stops, nothing after scotorvm, ornate a on obv., plain a on rev., 3.88g/1h (cf. SCBI 35, 390; B –, fig. – but see p.257; S 5123). Nearly very fine, very rare £300-£400 --- Provenance: stray metal detector find from near Ayr (Ayrshire), May 2015; bt June 2015 It was generally assumed that the star behind head was added as a result of the weight reduction prescribed in the Act of Parliament of October 1367 and was the first of the reduced weight coins. However, research by the vendor suggest that this is an over-simplification of the situation and that the dies fit towards the end of the sequence of Class C and that the weight of the coins of this type varies between the English standard of 67 grains and the 61 grain standard finally adopted and maintained in the Third coinage. It seems the weight was reduced, rose again, fell, rose and finally fell a third time to stabilise at 61 grains.
David II (1329-1371), Third coinage, Groat, class 2a, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, ‘Robert II’ head, tressure of six arcs, trefoils in spandrels, star on sceptre-handle, line below bust, double crosslet stops, reads seotorvm, nothing at end of legend, cross over crescent after dns, ornate a on obv., plain a on rev., 4.07g/2h (SCBI 35, –; B –, fig. –; S 5125). Good very fine, the variety reading seotorvm very rare £240-£300 --- Provenance: Davissons e-Auction 16, July 2016, lot 109
David II (1329-1371), Third coinage, Groat, class 2a, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, ‘Robert II’ head, tressure of six arcs and a segment, trefoils in spandrels, star on sceptre-handle, double crosslet stops, nothing at end of legend, no line below bust, cross over crescent after dns, plain a both sides, 3.64g/5h (SCBI 35, 419 for rev.; B 38, fig. 301 for rev.; S 5125). Nearly very fine, slightly porous surfaces, the variety very rare £200-£260 --- Provenance: bt Spink September 1978
David II (1329-1371), Third coinage, Groat, class 2a, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, ‘Robert II’ head, tressure of six arcs, trefoils in spandrels, star on sceptre-handle, double crosslet stops, including after scotorvm, no line below bust, cross over crescent after dns, plain a both sides, 3.93g/7h (SCBI 35, 421, same dies; B –, fig. –; S 5125). Good very fine with old cabinet toning, the variety very rare £240-£300 --- Provenance: Coin Galleries Numismatic Review, Vol. VII, no. 3, May 1966 (C 655); North Yorkshire Moors Collection, Part III, DNW Auction 168, 29 January 2020, lot 1003
David II (1329-1371), Third coinage, Groat, class 2, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, ‘Robert II’ head, tressure of six arcs, trefoils in spandrels, star on sceptre-handle, single crosslet stops, nothing after scotorvm, no line below bust, two saltires after dns, plain a both sides, 3.16g/6h (SCBI 35, –; B –, fig. –; S 5125). Clipped, nearly very fine, the punctuation varieties extremely rare £150-£200 --- Provenance: bt May 2006 See ‘A 14th Century Hoard of Scottish Groats from Balleny Townland, Co. Down’ (BNJ 33, pp.97-8) where Stewart mentions that he knows of only two David II Groats with two crosses after dns.
David II (1329-1371), Third coinage, Sterling, type 1, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée on obv. only, ‘Robert II’ style bust, star on sceptre-handle, crosslet stops, reads seotorvm, ornate as both sides, 0.94g/1h (SCBI 35, 439, same dies; B 12, fig. 304, same dies; S 5130). On a full flan, a few light scratches otherwise very fine or better, toned, rare thus £200-£260 --- Provenance: Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part I, DNW Auction 59, 7 October 2003, lot 841 This coin would appear to be one of the earliest Third coinage Pennies - retaining the spelling seotorvm which was prevalent throughout Class D.
Robert II (1371-1390), Groat, Transitional phase, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, normal ‘Robert II’ head, tressure of six arcs, trefoils in spandrels, star on sceptre-handle, double crosslet stops, nothing after scottorvm, two crosslets after dns, plain a both sides, 3.77g/8h (SCBI 35, 456, same dies; B –, fig. –; S 5131). Very fine and toned, the variety extremely rare £200-£300 --- Provenance: J.N.G. Wallworth Collection, Glendining Auction, 17 December 1942, lot 4 (part); Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part II, DNW Auction 60, 9-10 December 2003, lot 367 Although superficially the coinage of the new reign appears to be a continuation of that of David II, most of the letter punches were replaced during the changeover. This variety, the only die with double crosslets after dns, comes close to the start of the reign, before the opening of the Perth mint. See ‘A 14th Century Hoard of Scottish Groats from Balleny Townland, Co. Down’ (mentioned above) where Stewart mentions extremely rare David II and Robert II Groats with two crosses after dns (p.98).
