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, specifically King William III and Queen Mary II, who ruled jointly from 1689 to 1694. This coin was minted during their reign and features their effigies on the obverse side, making it a significant piece of numismatic history.
