| Additional information |
Scotland has never issued its own coinage — currency in Scotland is a reserved matter under Westminster, and no Scottish executive or parliament has held mint authority. This piece has no issuing government, no legal tender status, and no place in any official monetary series. It is a privately produced fantasy strike, made to resemble something that does not and has never existed.
