| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles I's Scottish coinage was reorganized under a 1636 privy council ordinance that restructured denominations and fineness — the 3rd Coinage emerging from political pressure to align Scottish silver standards more closely with English practice. The Edinburgh Mint operated under a series of moneyer contracts throughout this period, with Nicholas Briot's influence on die-cutting still detectable in the cleaner work of the early issues.
Production of this particular issue was brief. Within months, the king's attempt to impose the Anglican prayer book on Scotland had ignited the Bishops' Wars, and normal mint operations were severely disrupted by 1639.
