Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Shillings (Dalzell Farm) 13 (1804) coin from Scotland is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a horse and rider, with the horse rearing up on its hind legs, a design that was not commonly seen on coins at that time. This design was chosen to commemorate the famous horse breeding farm, Dalzell Farm, which was located in Scotland. The farm was known for breeding high-quality horses, and the coin's design was meant to reflect the farm's reputation and importance in Scottish culture.
