Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Penny - John (Second DOMinus coinage; Waterford) ND (1190-1199) from Ireland is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical crowned shield or cross that is commonly found on coins from this era, this coin bears a image of a hunting scene, depicting a man on horseback with a spear and a dog chasing after a deer. This design is not only visually striking but also provides a glimpse into the cultural and social aspects of life in Ireland during the late 12th century.
