This is silver pattern for a proposed coinage of copper threepences.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Pence - Charles I (Pattern) ND (1631) from Scotland is that it is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. It is considered a "pattern" coin, meaning that it was struck as a trial or sample coin, and not intended for circulation. This particular coin is made of silver and weighs 1.02 grams, which is unusual for a coin of its time period. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
