Comment
Coins of the first coinage (first issue) were minted in the early 1330s, but the exact date is unknown.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Farthing coin from Scotland, made of Silver, is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of King David II on one side and a cross fleury on the other. This design was used for the first coinage of David II, and it symbolizes the king's power and authority. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting process adds to its value and historical significance.
