Comment
Falconer's anonymous issue (5th issue).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Scotland and England. Charles I was facing opposition from the Scottish Covenanters, who were resisting his attempts to impose Episcopalianism on Scotland. This led to the outbreak of the Bishops' Wars, which lasted from 1639 to 1640. Despite these challenges, the coinage continued to be minted, with this particular coin being issued in 1641-1642.
