Category: Miscellaneous
We created this category to show coins which don't have their own group, maybe because they are unique or rare, or just that we don't have enough images to justify their own group. Not necessarily expensive, some just too interesting not to list!Which Mint: Edinburgh Mint
There were a large number of mints in Scotland (well over 20) and Edinburgh was the most important. It was active from the reign of David I (1124–1153) and was last to close.The last minting in Scotland was in 1709 when the Edinburgh Mint completed its final batch for the 1707–1710 Scottish recoinage. The mint was finally abolished in 1817 and sold in 1830.
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The United Kingdom (UK) is the Union of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is often refered to as Great Britain (GBR). It has a long, rich history. The orignal coinage was Pounds, Shillings and Pence but since decimalisation on 15 February 1971, it is £1 = 100p, that is One Pound = 100 pence. The coinage of the UK is also a long history, the Royal Mint being established as long ago as 886AD when coins were hammered. Today there is perhaps 30 billion coins in circulation, and many (numismatic) collectors coins and sets are issued frequently in gold, silver and other metals.
