Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groat - Henry VIII (Posthumous; York) ND (1547-1551) coin is that it was issued during a time of great change in England. Henry VIII had recently died, and his son, Edward VI, was still a minor, so the country was being ruled by a regency council. This coin was minted during a period of economic and political upheaval, and its production was likely influenced by the tumultuous events of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the English people during a time of great change.
