Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Groat - Robert III (Heavy Coinage, 2nd Issue) ND (1390-1403) from Scotland is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Scotland. The coinage of Robert III, also known as the "Heavy Coinage," was introduced in 1390 as a response to the devaluation of the Scottish currency under his predecessor, David II. The 1 Groat coin was one of the denominations introduced during this time, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material. Despite the challenges faced by Scotland during this period, the 1 Groat coin remained a popular and widely used denomination, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
