Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Turner - Charles II 1677-1679 from Scotland 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 coinage system implemented by King Charles II in 1677, which aimed to address the issues of currency devaluation and inflation that had plagued Scotland in the previous decades. The 1 Turner coin was equivalent to one-eighth of a Scottish pound, and it was made of copper, a relatively cheap and abundant metal at the time. Despite its low value, the coin was widely used in everyday transactions and played an important role in the economy of Scotland during this period.
