Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Penny - Alexander III (Transitional Coinage, Type IA) ND (1249-1250) from Scotland (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of designs from both the Scottish and English coinage traditions. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the image of Alexander III, King of Scotland, while the reverse (back) side features a cross fleury, which was a common motif in Scottish coinage during this period. However, the coin also includes the English royal coat of arms, which reflects Scotland's political ties to England at the time. This blending of design elements makes the coin a fascinating example of the complex history and cultural exchange between Scotland and England during the Middle Ages.
