Comment
Other moneyers Salmo, ThomasInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Penny - John (Second DOMinus coinage, Carrickfergus) ND (1190-1199) from Ireland is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of King John on one side and a cross fleury on the other. This design was specifically used for coins minted in Carrickfergus, a town in Northern Ireland, and can be distinguished from other coins minted in different locations during the same time period.
