A plack ((スコットランド・ゲール語:plang)) was an ancient Scottish coin of the value of four Scots pennies or by 1707 one third of an English penny.〔(SND: plack )〕 It appears in the old song: :A’ that e’er my Jeanie had, :My Jeanie had, my Jeanie had, :A’ that e’er my Jeanie had ::Was ae bawbie :There’s your plack, and my plack, :And your plack, and my plack, ::And Jeanie’s bawbie. The word is probably derived from the ancient Flemish coin, a ''plaquette'', current before the introduction into the Netherlands of the French money reckoned by francs and centimes. It can be found in the works of Robert Burns too: :Nae howdie gets a social night, ::or plack frae them :(''Scotch Drink'') :Stretch a joint to catch a plack, :Abuse a brother to his back. :(''To Gavin Hamilton'') ==See also== *Bawbee *Bodle *Pound Scots *Scottish coinage *Buy Broom Besoms 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plack (coin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
