House of Tudor (1485-1603), Elizabeth I (1558-1603), Sixth issue (1583-1600), 22ct gold crown.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth I (6th Issue) ND (1592-1600) coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "pellet-in-ring" mintmark. This mintmark, which appears on the reverse side of the coin, is a small pellet (or bead) enclosed within a ring. It was used to indicate that the coin was struck at the Tower Mint in London, and it is a distinctive feature of coins from this era.
