Comment
Falconer's anonymous issue (5th issue).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Scotland. The 1641-1642 coinage was issued during the reign of Charles I, who was facing opposition from the Scottish Covenanters, a group of Presbyterian Protestants who sought to establish a new government and religious system in Scotland. The coinage was minted in limited quantities and was likely used to help finance the military campaigns 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 and rarity.
