The coin will go for sale at auction on 19 September.
A rare coin minted by King David I to mark his conquest of Carlisle has been discovered.
The coin, which is thought to date back to the 1140s, was found by a metal detectorist in Dumfries and Galloway.
It is the first coin of its specific type to be found and is expected to fetch up to £10,000 at auction.
The coin features a castle on one side and a cross on the other, with the name of the Carlisle mint where it was made.
Experts believe the castle depicted on the coin is likely to be Carlisle Castle, which was captured by King David in 1136.
The coin will be sold by auctioneers Noonans at the Park Lane Hilton Hotel in London on 19 September.
