Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Coinage of Scotland, Vol. 2 of 3: Illustrated Form the Cabinet of Thomas Coats, Esq., Of Ferguslie and Other Collections Born at Dunfermline in 1394; taken Captive by the English in 1405; acceded 4th April 1406; released from Captivity April 1424; crowned at Scone, 21st May 1424; murdered at Perth, 20th February 1436-37. At a Parliament held at Perth, 26th May 1424, five days after the kings coronation, it was "determyt and ordanyt that our lorde the King ger amende the mone and ger stryk it in lik wecht and fynes to the mone of Inglande. And this mone rynnand now to have course quhill the King forbyde it. And that the King sail ger strik new mone quhen him lykis and thinkis it speideful and profitable for the realme." If the" mone rynnand now" is to be regarded as any portion of that bearing the name of James himself, it is tolerably certain that its currency was not forbidden; for no change in type, weight, or quality appears to have been introduced into the coinage during the twelve years that James personally occupied the Scottish throne. But it is by no means improbable that the money which it seemed so desirable to supersede, and for which, as having been struck during his captivity, James himself could not be looked upon as responsible, may have been struck not in his own name but in that of his late father, Robert III. - in the first instance by his uncle, Robert, Duke of Albany, Regent of Scotland and king in all but the name; and subsequently by his cousin Murdac, who succeeded Duke Robert in the regency.
