Comment
Despite coming to the throne in 1306 Robert the Bruce did not mint any coins until late 1319. This may be connected to the Scottish re-conquest of Berwick in 1318. This is an extremely small coinage and may have only been struck for a short duration.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Penny - Robert I ND (1319-1329) from Scotland (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Silver is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of King Robert I on the obverse (front) side, and a cross fleury on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during King Robert I's reign, also known as Robert the Bruce, who ruled Scotland from 1328 to 1329. The coin was minted in silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period.
