Comment
Falconer's 2nd issue (4th issue).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 opposed the king's attempts to impose Episcopalianism on Scotland. This coin was minted in 1639, just a year before the Scottish Covenanters signed the National Covenant, which marked the beginning of the Scottish Civil War. Despite the turmoil, the coin still features the king's name and image, reflecting his continued authority and influence in Scotland at the time.
