Forrer cites Burns, 'The Coinage of Scotland' (1887). Burns states that 'about the year 1860 a watchmaker named Jons, residing in Dunfermline, contrived to obtain impressions of early Scottish coins, both in silver and gold, and executed dies in imitation of these pieces'. See Forrer, vol. 3, (1907), pp. 85-86.
