Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Edward VI (2nd period; crowned bust) ND (1549-1550) coin from England is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. Edward VI was the son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, and he ascended to the throne at the age of nine after his father's death. His reign was marked by the Protestant Reformation and the establishment of the Church of England, which had a significant impact on the country's religion, politics, and culture. The coin's design, featuring a crowned bust of the young king, reflects the power and authority of the monarchy during this time.
