Phase B coins were minted well into the reign of William I successor: Alexander IIInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Penny - William I (Phase B) ND (1205-1230) 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 bears the image of King William I, also known as William the Lion, on its obverse side, while the reverse side 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 King William I and was meant to symbolize the king's power and influence. The use of silver in the coin's minting process also adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
