Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Groat - Robert II ND (1371-1390) from Scotland is that it was the first coin to feature a portrait of a Scottish king. The coin features a depiction of King Robert II on the obverse side, which was a departure from the previous coinage that had featured the Scottish coat of arms. This change in design marked a significant shift in the representation of Scottish royalty on coinage and paved the way for future coins to feature portraits of Scottish kings and queens.
