Scottish hammered coins: medieval issues to post-Union pieces

Scottish hammered coins cover a long and fascinating period, from early medieval issues through to the later hammered coinage struck before milled coins fully took over. Designs and legends vary a lot by reign, and you’ll see everything from bold portraits and crowns to distinctive crosses, shields, and long legends around the edge. Many pieces were struck in silver, with denominations ranging from small, everyday types through to larger coins such as groats, and the series includes some of the most recognisable names in Scottish history.

FAQs

What are Scottish hammered coins?

Scottish hammered coins are coins struck by hand, using a hammer to impress the design onto a blank piece of metal. Because they were made individually rather than by machine, they can vary in shape and strike, and it is normal to see off-centre strikes, uneven edges, or parts of the legend missing.

This collection includes Scottish hammered coins from medieval rulers through to later issues, including post-Union pieces. The exact mix depends on what we have in stock, but you will see a range of reigns across the hammered period.
