Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 60 Shillings - Charles I (1st Coinage) ND (1625-1634) coin from Scotland is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new coinage system implemented by King Charles I in 1625, which aimed to address the issue of currency devaluation and to promote trade within the British Isles. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the Scottish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the union between Scotland and England under the Stuart monarchy. Despite its historical significance, the coin's value today is primarily determined by its rarity and condition, rather than its silver content.
