Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Farthing coin from Ireland, made of Silver and weighing 0.35g, is that it was issued during the reign of King John, also known as John Lackland, who ruled England from 1199 to 1216. This coin was part of the Second Coinage issued in Dublin during his reign, and it features the king's name, "Johannes," in Latin, on one side, and a cross on the other. The coin's design and inscription reflect the political and religious influences of the time, and its small size and silver content made it a practical and valuable currency for everyday transactions.
