| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles I inherited the Scottish throne in 1625 already holding the English crown, and his Edinburgh mint wasted little time producing this large-denomination silver piece — the highest value coin of his first Scottish coinage. The political arithmetic mattered: a unified monarchy still required separate coinage for each kingdom, and Scotland's monetary system remained distinct throughout his reign.
The Sp#5540 reference places this among the issues produced before the later coinage reforms that accompanied the Bishop's Wars and the broader collapse of royal authority in Scotland. By the late 1630s, Charles's relationship with the Scottish Kirk had deteriorated beyond repair.
