Definizione

• A Scotch copper coin, some- times known as the hall-plack or two pence Scotch. It appeared in the latter part of the sixteenth century, and was last coined in 1697.

  The name is said to be a corruption of Bothwell, a mintmaster, hut no documen- tary evidence to this effect is cited.

  Its value in England was considerably lower, as is indicated by R. Holme, in his Armoury , 1688 (iii. 2), who says, " A Bodle, three of them make a half-penny English. "
