Comment
Type 2 Turner.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Turner - Charles I (Earl of Stirling Coinage) ND (1632-1639) from Scotland (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Scotland. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by King Charles I, who was attempting to centralize power and control over the Scottish economy. The coin's design features a portrait of the king on one side and a thistle on the other, symbolizing the country's national emblem. Despite its historical significance, the coin's value today is relatively low, with most examples selling for only a few pounds.
