Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Bawbee coin from Scotland is that it was the first coin to feature a portrait of a British monarch, King Charles II, on a Scottish coin. This was a significant departure from previous Scottish coins, which had traditionally featured symbolic images such as the Scottish thistle or the royal arms. The introduction of a monarch's portrait on the coinage was a nod to the growing influence of the British monarchy in Scotland during the 17th century.
