Context
A wide range of varieties of this coin exist. See the following examples: © Image courtesy of Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. © Image courtesy of Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. © Image courtesy of Noble Numismatics Pty Ltd These coins were commonly cut into halves and quarters to create halfpennies and farthings. The following is an example of a cut halfpenny: © John Conduitt (CC BY-SA) These coins were jointly produced by moneyers Hugh of the Edinburgh mint and Walter of the Perth mint. It is thereby likely that they were struck by the Edinburgh and Perth mints, but it is impossible to determine for certain which of these two mints a particular coin was struck at. Phase B coins were minted into the reign of Alexander II.
