Dating to Period A under David I, this piece was struck circa 1136 to about 1140, making it among the earliest issues of Scottish coinage. This coinage is a result of the Treaty of Durham between David I and King Stephen of England, who required an oath of allegiance from David's son, Prince Henry. Beginning in 1139, Henry would issue coins himself, as Earl of Northumberland and Huntingdon.
From the Loch Ness Collection.
