Comment
Period B coins were minted during the mid and late 1140s. The dates shown are just estimates.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny - David I (Period B) ND (1145-1150) coin from Scotland is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination. The obverse of the coin bears the image of King David I, while the reverse features a cross fleury, which is a type of cross with fleur-de-lis at the ends. This design was used during the reign of David I, who was known for his efforts to promote Christianity and establish a strong central government in Scotland. The use of the cross fleury on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the king's devotion to Christianity and his efforts to spread the religion throughout his kingdom.
