Silver penny of Edward I
- Description:
A silver penny of Edward I (reigned 1272-1307). It was minted at London in 1305-06. The coin was found by a metal detector-user near Glenluce.
Most of the coins from this period found in Galloway are English pennies. This illustrates the degree of contact between south-west Scotland and England at the time.
