Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Elizabeth I (7th issue) ND (1601-1602) coin is that it features a unique design element known as a "pellet-in-ring" mintmark. This mintmark, which appears on the coin's reverse side, is a small circle containing a central pellet (or dot) surrounded by a ring. The pellet-in-ring mintmark was used by the Royal Mint to indicate that the coin was struck at the Tower of London, specifically by the "E" mint, which was active during Elizabeth I's reign. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and numismatists who specialize in British coins.
