Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Shillings - Charles I (1st Coinage) ND (1625-1634) coin from Scotland is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by King Charles I in 1625, which aimed to stabilize the Scottish economy and align it with the English system. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the Scottish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the union between Scotland and England under the Stuart monarchy. Despite its historical significance, the coin was not widely accepted and was eventually replaced by a new coinage system in 1634. Today, it remains a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of Scottish currency.
