The currency of Scotland is the Pound Sterling (GBP) and Scotland uses British Coins as produced by the Royal Mint.

All Scottish banks have the right to produce their own banknotes, but only three do.

Strangely, all Scottish banknotes are not legal tender anywhere including Scotland. They have more of the standing of a promissory note (in Scotland) and there is a strange legal loop hole in Scottish law that allows this to occur.

Did California mint gold coins 1854?

California became a part of the United States in 1850. As a state, California could not mint coins. However, private companies struck their own gold coins, bearing their name and released them into circulation during the years from 1849 to 1855. Most had ceased minting operations by 1854 since the branch of the US Mint was in operation by that time. But Kellogg & Company still minted gold coins in 1854. The company was reorganized as Kellogg & Humbert late in 1854 and produced coins in 1855. I don't know that anyone knows how many coins were minted by these private companies but the coins are rather scarce and many command a very high price tag. The US Branch Mint at San Francisco was indeed minting gold coins in 1854 in the demoniations of $1, $2.50, $5, $10 and $20.

What is the value of a mis-struck 10 Pence coin?

Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin. Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated. A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation. The problem with one-off flaws is that their value depends on the significance of the flaw but as one-offs, a dealer's opinion can only be speculative. These do appear from time to time on eBay and if your coin is similar to one that has sold, this will be an indication of the value of your own coin. These are never documented or catalogued unless they are found in numbers, even small numbers.
