Abstract
Ihe history of no country can be well undorstood without a know- ledge of the money and coin peculiar to it.Great mistakes often oc- cur in the perusal of our Scotish history, owing to our uncertainty of the value and denomination of money at the various periods of it.This is not greatly to be wondered at, since no Scotish money has been coined later than the Union, and our old mode of reckoning in Scotish money has now become obbolete.It is hoped, therefore, that the following brief account oi" our money will prove acceptable to readers of Scotish history, and will convey such a knowledge of the subject as shall be liable to no great mistake.'rhe most ancient Scotish money that has yet been found is the silver penny oi William the Lion, and from his time to that of David II.no higher denomination of money was coined David II.coined groats^half groats, pennies, and half pennies, i:i silver* ; and these various denominations continued till the death of James V. but of dif- ferent degrees of weight and lincness.jNIary coined roi/als of xxx, XX, and x shillings, generally known by the name of the Crook- stone dollar ; the xxx shilling piece, weighing 47:2 grains, is nearly the same as our present crown piece (not the new coinage,) the others in proportion.James VI. coined money the same as the last reign; sUso merks, half vierks, quarter nurks, ixwd half quarter merks, nobles, and half nobles.About 1600, Scots money was depreciated to one- twelfth of sterlingmoney ; at this value it has continued ever since.The coins of Charles 1. were nearly the same as those of his father.After the Restoration, Charles II.coined a four merk piece, two mcrky merk, and half merk ; and a dollar, .50shillings value, a. half dollar, quarter dollar, half quarter, and a IGtii of a dollar, value three shil- lings and sixpence.The coliis ol' Charles II.ai'o milled money, and The Edircr has in his possession a pfmiy of-Alexander 111.which weighs 02 crains, a yroat )t" David II.weighing ti?^erjins, anotlier 5? gr.iiiis, and oiie of Kv^btrt III.>>liicki weighs 47^grains.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
