Comment
Very similar to Sp#5164 except there are fleur de lis in the legend.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groat - Robert III (Heavy Coinage, 1st Issue) ND (1390-1403) from Scotland is that it was the first coin to feature the Scottish thistle, which has since become a symbol of Scotland and appears on many Scottish coins.
