I didn't know they struck any coins for Robert the Bruce - do you have any pictures?

Welcome to Numista.
Can you start with taking good sharp pictures?
I would like to see it!
Thanks

I also didn't know they'd minted them, but it's a great looking coin, I'd love to have one someday.

Looking forward to your photos.

You might not find much on eBay but you could take a look at the Spink & Son auction site
