This coin is a Scottish Merk from 1668, a Merk was 13 shillings and 6 pence Scots, the rough equivalent of a then contemporary English Shilling. This coin would have circulated in Scotland of course, but occasionally in Northern England also. Many of these coins were withdrawn from circulation in the period of 1707-1709 and melted and reminted as British coins after the Union of 1707. In this condition, the coin is worth betwixt £75-£100.

Some provincial banks issued £1 notes, the Bank of England did not get into the act of issuing £1 notes until 1817-1818 or so during the tenure of Henry Hase. During the early part of the 19th century anything that could pass as money basically did, including even foreign coins, coinage was very scarce - the reign of George III saw very light issues of coinage until 1797, and then the early 19th century.

Yep, noticed that too. -
Yep, I think I can make out something of Ferdinand, he would have been the king very early in the 19th century, so this is a Maravedi from the era of 1810-1820 or so.
