El unicornio fue una moneda de oro que formó parte de la acuñación escocesa entre 1484 y 1525. Se emitió inicialmente en el reinado de James III con un valor de 18 chelines escoceses, pero el aumento de los precios del oro durante el reinado de James V provocó que su valor aumentara primero a 20 chelines y luego a 22. El anverso de la moneda muestra un unicornio coronado. La importancia radica en que el unicornio es uno de los símbolos heráldicos de Escocia, dos de ellos aparecen, de forma más notable, coronados y encadenados, como los soportes del escudo de armas real de Escocia.

What do trees look like to them, or houses, or real horses, or their own children?”
