Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1811 Scottish 4 Shillings 6 Pence coin is that it was minted during a time of economic hardship in Scotland, known as the "Scottish Banking Crisis." The crisis was caused by the collapse of several major banks in Scotland, which led to a shortage of currency and a decrease in trade. Despite this, the coin was still minted and circulated, and it remains a valuable collector's item to this day.
