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 3rd Coinage, 5th Issue was minted in 1641-1642, a period of political and religious upheaval, as Scotland was in the midst of a civil war and the English Civil War was also taking place. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the resilience and skill of the mint workers during this time.
