1 Bodle - William II Type II

The bodle — a Scottish copper coin worth two pennies Scots, or one-sixth of an English penny — was famously derided as near-worthless even in its own time, giving rise to the expression "not worth a bodle." William II's copper coinage for Scotland was struck at Edinburgh under conditions of chronic underfunding; the Scottish mint struggled throughout the 1690s with copper supply and authorization disputes with the London treasury. The Type II designation distinguishes a revised die treatment introduced partway through the reign.
