Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook to the Coinage of Scotland: Giving a Description of Every Variety Issued by the Scottish Mint in Gold, Silver, Billon, and Copper, From Alexander I. To Anne
While endeavouring to comprehend all the information with regard to the coins themselves comprised in the above-named works, together with the latest discoveries described in the Numismatic Chronicle, I have aimed at being as concise as was consistent with accuracy.
In my subdivision into coinages I have mainly adopted the arrangement of Lindsay and Wingate, modifying it to suit the alterations prescribed by the records. I have therefore recognized as distinct issues many changes of type which are not noticed in those documents.
