Hussulo Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'll need to reaserch it but what I can say is that it does say VILLA EDINBURGH so it was minted in Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I would like for it to be S-5123, which is very rare, but in fact it is an early Robert II - S-5131 based on the shape of the head of the monarch. BTW the S number the OP cited is for a halfgroat, this particular piece appears from the size of the head to be a full groat that was clipped of practically all of it's legends. The reverse appears to have used a well used and many times repunched die based on all the doubling noticeably with the stars in the quatrains on the reverse. BTW I own a S-5123, as well as an S-5131 but don't have images online at the moment with the website I had buying the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
