About MeCoin-hoard evidence shows that in the late 15th century a high proportion of English coinage was once again in circulation in Scotland.A hoard from Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, deposited in about 1466 contained a large number of Calais (VILLA CALISIE) groats of Henry VI. These coins date from the period in the early 15th century when England gained control of the French throne following Henry V's famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt.
