Scotland, Robert the Bruce, silver penny, c. 1318-1324, class I, Berwick mint. 1.25 g.
 
Although Robert reigned from 1306, due to the ongoing war with England, coinage was not struck immediately. It is not known when the class I coinage commenced, but it was likely between 1318, when Berwick was captured from the English, and 1324 when Pope John XXII recognised Robert as rightful King of Scotland, which lead to his widespread recognition among other European rulers.
 
almost VF, toned, minor roughness, surface marks, excellent portrait, slightly irregular flan. Rare.
