Interesting fact
The 1 Bodle coin was a significant denomination in Scotland during the 17th and 18th centuries, and the William II (Type II) coin was minted during a time of great change in the country. In 1697, the Scottish Parliament passed the Act of Union, which formed the Kingdom of Great Britain and led to the eventual abolition of the Scottish currency in favor of the British pound. As a result, coins like the 1 Bodle - William II (Type II) 1697 are now highly sought after by collectors and historians interested in the history of Scottish currency.
