The Sgarabhaigh Sixpence - Scotland UK![]() The Sgarabhaigh Sixpence forms an important part of
a wider project (Friends of Sgarabhaigh) to conserve and
share the small Scottish island of Sgarabhaigh which
lies in the beautiful Western Isles of Scotland. The
coin design is based on an ancient coin of the realm and
incorporates a blend of the ancient and modern history
of the island as well as three of the ecological
cornerstones of the place that is Sgarabhaigh. Friends of Sgarabhaigh have
minted a coin in 'fine' silver (99.9% pure silver), based on the silver sixpence
produced by James VI of Scotland (1588-1625) also James I of England (1603-1625)
the first King to unite the crowns of Scotland and England.
