Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Shillings - Charles I (4th Coinage) ND (1642) coin from Scotland is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the country. The coin was issued in 1642, just a few years after the Scottish Civil War, which had resulted in the execution of Charles I in 1649. Despite this, the coin still bears his name and image, reflecting the complex political and historical context in which it was created.
