In 1250 there were about 16 mints in Scotland so they came up with a way to distinguish them by the total number of points on the stars.These range from four 5-point stars or 20 to four 7 point stars or 28.If you look at my photos,you can see that the Alexander III coin has one 7 point,two 6 point and unfortunately,the fourth one is not distinguishable.</p><p>I haven&#039;t found a list of the mints,which stretched from Inverness to Berwick,but I&#039;m still looking...Ian?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
