Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Bawbee coin from Scotland is that it was the first coin to feature the portrait of a British monarch, King William III, on a Scottish coin. This was a significant departure from the traditional Scottish coinage that had previously featured the Scottish thistle or other symbols. The inclusion of the monarch's portrait signaled a shift towards greater alignment with the English monarchy and the formation of the United Kingdom.
