Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Angel - Elizabeth I (5th issue) ND (1578-1582) coin is that it was issued 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 strategic political maneuvering, which helped to establish England as a major world power. During her reign, the country experienced a period of cultural and artistic flourishing, known as the Elizabethan era, which saw the rise of famous playwrights such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. Despite these achievements, Elizabeth's rule was also marked by religious conflicts and political intrigue, including the execution of her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, and the attempted invasion of England by Spain's Armada in 1588.
