Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Farthing - Edward IV (Three crowns) ND (1467-1470) coin from Ireland is that it features a unique design element - the three crowns on the obverse (front) side of the coin, which represent the three kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This design was specifically chosen by King Edward IV to symbolize his claim to the throne and his desire to unite the three kingdoms under a single ruler. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early Irish coinage and is highly sought after by collectors.
