Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Shillings - Charles I (1st Coinage) 1625-1634 from Scotland is that it was the first coin to feature a portrait of the king, Charles I, on the obverse (front side), which was a departure from the traditional depiction of the Scottish coat of arms on previous coins. This change in design was a nod to the increasing influence of the English monarchy over Scotland during that time.
