| Additional information |
Susan Hamilton, 12th Duchess of Hamilton, was among the most prominent Scottish aristocrats of the 20th century, but this issue commemorates the historical title itself — one of the oldest extant Scottish dukedoms, created in 1643 for the 1st Duke ahead of his execution during the Civil War. The Hamilton peerage survived that inauspicious beginning and outlasted the men who periodically held it, passing through female lines on multiple occasions.
The 2026 date places this among the early commemorative program under Charles III.
