Hi All,

I have this coin which I suspect may be a medieval Scottish coin as I know some of those coins did have a cross with four stars.

The obverse shows a cross with a star in one quadrant. The reverse shows a lion (I think). It looks like it is made of silver. I cannot make out any writing.

I do apologise for the poor quality of the photo's but my good camera is knackered. It is a very small coin (13mm about half an inch) but may well have been clipped.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

John

Hi Bob,

I think you have managed to unravel the origins of the coin. It looks very similar, my guessing Scottish just goes to show how far off the mark a cross, a star and a lion can lead you..I am certainly not Agatha Christie or Sherlock Holmes when it comes to investigating coins :-)

Thank you so much for your help.

If I can ever return the favour just ask.

Cheers

John
