Comment
Period D coins were minted after the death of David I and his son, Prince Henry. The dates shown are just estimates.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of King David I on the obverse (front) side, and a cross fleury on the reverse (back) side. The cross fleury is a symbol of the Christian faith and was commonly used on coins during the Middle Ages. The coin's design and silver content make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Scottish history and coinage.
