Comment
Falconer's 1st issue (3rd issue).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Scotland. The 1639-1641 period saw the country in the midst of a political and religious crisis, with tensions between the monarchy and the Scottish Parliament leading to the eventual execution of Charles I in 1649. Despite this, the coinage continued to be produced, with the 12 Shillings coin being one of the most widely used denominations.
