Hi Guys,

on the last auction from Karel de Geus The Netherlands om 12th april

I tried to get this one but unfortunately the price was to high.

Estimated at €300, went for €1000. The Dutch and the Scots get along famously, but this is exaggerated.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Here, exactly 400 years later, we have the same reverse.   1966 was the last year in which the British shilling was issued, and there were two versions, Scottish and English; you can guess which this is.

Good lateral thinking, Bill. An interesting combination.
