Very similar to John Baliol's 1st coinage.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - Alexander III (2nd Coinage, Class J) ND (1280-1286) from Scotland is that it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by Alexander III, also known as Alexander the Glorious, who ruled Scotland from 1249 to 1286. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the king's devotion to Christianity. Despite being issued over 700 years ago, some of these coins still exist today and are highly sought after by collectors.
