Comment
The coinage in the name of Malcolm IV is extremely rare. The coinage of David I continued to be minted during his reign.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Penny - Malcolm IV (Type III) ND (1153-1165) from Scotland (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse features a crowned bust of King Malcolm IV, while the reverse features a cross fleury, which is a type of cross with fleur-de-lis at the ends. This design was used specifically for coins issued during Malcolm IV's reign and is not found on coins from other periods or territories. This makes the coin a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Scottish history and coinage.
