Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Scotland. King Charles I was facing opposition from the Scottish Covenanters, a group of Presbyterian Protestants who were demanding religious reforms and greater political power. This coin was minted in 1639, just a year before the outbreak of the Bishops' Wars, a series of conflicts between the Scottish Covenanters and the English Crown that would ultimately lead to the execution of King Charles I in 1649. Despite this tumultuous backdrop, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its silver content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
