Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Shillings - William and Mary 1690 coin from Scotland is that it was made of silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of silver in coins has largely been discontinued in modern times due to the rising cost of the metal and the development of more durable and cost-effective alternatives.
