Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penny coin from Scotland, minted during the reign of Robert II (1371-1390), is that it was made of silver, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, the use of silver in coinage was gradually phased out in the following centuries, and today, most coins are made of less valuable metals like copper, nickel, or zinc. This makes the 1 Penny coin from Robert II's reign a unique and interesting piece of history.
