Comment
Intermediate issue (2nd issue).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Scotland. The 1638-1639 coinage was issued during the reign of Charles I, who was facing opposition from the Scottish Covenanters, a group of Presbyterian Protestants who were seeking religious and political reforms. This coin was minted in limited quantities and was likely used for transactions and trade during this time of upheaval.
