<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1208417, member: 12789"]It is not Scottish. Not with a "Johan" on it, and a lion rampant on the reverse. As mentioned above, the lion was not used until early in the 15th century. Also the legends are too neat for a Scottish coin of the 13th century, they tended to be a bit cruder. John's coins were quite crude by comparison to earlier the issues of Alexander III. I am also not sure that the depiction on the reverse is even a lion, enough of the fabric of the design is gone that it is difficult to determine what it indeed is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
