Comment
Briot's issue (1st issue).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield bearing the coat of arms of Scotland, which was added to the reverse side of the coin. This was the first time that the Scottish coat of arms had been included on a British coin, and it was a nod to the cultural and political ties between Scotland and England during the reign of Charles I.
