Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groat - James I (2nd Fleur-de-lis Issue) ND (1406-1437) coin from Scotland is that it features a unique design element known as a "fleur-de-lis," which is a stylized representation of a lily flower. This symbol was commonly used in the heraldry of the time and was associated with the French monarchy, to which James I was related. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin reflects the cultural and political ties between Scotland and France during the early 15th century.
