Ian Deveney, a metal detectorist, discovered a French 4 sols coin believed to have been used to pay soldiers at the Battle of Culloden, fought 280 years ago. The coin was found near Inverness, and Deveney, who specializes in Scottish history, noted that Jacobite fighters were paid in French currency. The Battle of Culloden, led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, was the last pitched battle on British soil, resulting in significant casualties among the Jacobites. Deveney's find raises questions about the presence of French currency in Scotland during turbulent times.
