Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Pound - Elizabeth I (Milled Issue) ND (1561-1570) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in England. Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled from 1558 to 1603, was known for her strong leadership and cultural achievements, but her reign was also marked by religious conflicts, political intrigue, and military struggles. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the time remained a symbol of stability and continuity, with the ½ Pound coin being a popular denomination for trade and commerce.
