The Turner (also spelled “Bodle”) was a Scottish copper coin issued during Charles II’s reign.

On the obverse is a scottish thistle with the legend "NEMO · ME · IMPVNE · LACESSET · 1677" meaning "No one shall hurt me with impunity"

On the reverse is a crown above crossed sword and sceptre, along with the date “1677.”
