[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3002332, member: 10461"]I am Robertson of the Clan Robertson, so this is my clan badge: [ATTACH=full]743050[/ATTACH] However, the whole clan badge and tartans thing didn't start until much later - maybe in the Victorian era in the 1800s (?) - three centuries after the coin discussed here was struck. As [USER=87080]@TheRed[/USER] mentioned in Post #7: The gold coins on [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-holey-coin-vest-and-holey-gold-hat.286762/']my hat[/URL] all went away in my "Great Purge of 2013", when I rolled everything I had into the present [URL='https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/7my2PhjhXCrR9PLbqB5k']Eclectic Box[/URL] collection.
