Comment
Falconer's 2nd issue (4th issue).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Shillings - Charles I (3rd Coinage, 4th Issue) ND (1639-1641) coin from Scotland is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the country. King Charles I was facing opposition from the Scottish Covenanters, a group of Presbyterian Protestants who were demanding religious reforms and greater political power. This coin was minted in response to a shortage of coinage in Scotland, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. Despite its historical significance, the coin remains relatively affordable for collectors, with prices ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds depending on its condition.
