Comment

The coins struck in 1650 were issued by Charles II. However, they are indistinguishable from those that were issued during the reign of Charles I.

There are varieties in which 'IMPVNE' in the reverse legend is rendered as 'INPVNE' (see above example), 'INPNE' or 'IMPNE'.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Turner - Charles I ND (1642-1650) from Scotland is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic upheaval in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Charles I, who was facing opposition from the Scottish Covenanters, a group of Presbyterian Protestants who sought to establish a new government and religious system in Scotland. The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic needs of the time, as the government sought to raise funds to finance its military campaigns and other activities. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Scottish history and a testament to the resilience of the Scottish people.
