Evening All,
Fairly sure its a Scots one but not sure who? Sorry for lack of scale; I like to use one for coins but suffice to say it looks pretty average hammered (half) penny size, Many thanks in advance and any knowledge much appreciated!
All the B
Alexander
Scottish Silver for ID please...

Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking

To expand a little on the reply above, what might be confusing is the orientation of the coin in the images. This is the obverse, right way up:
And similarly the reverse:
Moneyer Henri [...]
The sceptre now appears on the left with the bust on the rightAnd similarly the reverse:
Moneyer Henri [...]

My humble apologies for trying to clarify what may not have been obvious to all. Won't happen again.
