Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Farthing coin from Ireland is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of King John on one side and a cross fleury on the other. This design was used during the reign of King John, who ruled England from 1199 to 1216, and was also Lord of Ireland. The coin's design reflects the political and cultural ties between England and Ireland during this time period.
